Walden's definately a twitchy athlete! Very elusive for his height thanks to impressive body control, attacking style and good vision. Can see why he's a coveted two-way prospect.

Adding he and Stepp, both enormous talents, would further accelerate the momentum 6'5" Cartwright just re-established, giving Sapp, Feister, Parks and even Camara (??) 2 more terrific reasons to quack!

Oregon Ducks lined up for key recruiting decisions Wednesday

The Oregon Ducks are finalists for three 2027 recruits who will decide on Wednesday, two of which they are reported favorites for.

The Oregon Ducks added nine commitments in the month of June. And the Ducks could kick off July with another bang as several targets will announce their decisions on June 1.

Three recent official visitors will be announcing their commitment on Wednesday. Three more are scheduled for decisions over the coming two weeks, starting with another on Friday.

Oregon hat will be on the table at 12:30 p.m. PT when Collierville four-star athlete Tae Walden will announce his decision. Oregon, Auburn, Georgie, LSU, and Ole Miss are his finalists. Oregon has momentum after hosting him for his final official visit during the June 19-21 weekend. 

Immediately after, Las Vegas (Nevada) Bishop Gorman four-star cornerback Hayden Stepp will announce his decision immediately after at 12:45 p.m. PT. Multiple 247Sports crystal ball picks have been made in the Ducks' favor. His other finalists are Alabama and Cal. 

‌
The decisions keep coming in July. Glassboro (New Jersey) High School four-star wide receiver Xavier Sabb will reportedly commit on July 3 between Oregon, LSU, Tennessee and UCLA. A crystal ball pick is currently in Oregon's favor. 

If the Ducks land commitments from each of Walden, Stepp, and Sabb, Oregon's 2027 class would increase from 255.64 points to 280.62. That would place Oregon just behind current No. 1 class Texas A&M at 280.95 points - however, several other decisions on July 1 are expected to shake up the national recruiting rankings.

Massillon (Ohio) Washington four-star athlete Brayton Feister will also decide on July 11. A crystal ball pick is in for the Ducks as he decides between Oregon, Georgia and Cal.

Pair him with Jett Washington at 6'5" would be awesome back end.

To get to the upcoming announcements on Rivals YouTube channel for those hanging out for Tae, Hayden, and Gecova I was able to join the show from the link on this page (YouTube did not like the direct link).
