Ducks among top three schools for No. 1 JUCO player in nation
The Oregon Ducks have had a long history of finding success by bringing junior college players into the Power 5. Whether it was Jeremiah Masoli or LeGarrette Blount, a number of JUCO players have found a way to thrive in Eugene after making the leap.
It appears the Ducks are once again trying to go this route to find an elite player, this time cornerback Sione Laulea.
Earlier this week, Laulea announced via his Instagram that he is down to three schools — the USC Trojans, Miami Hurricanes, and Oregon Ducks. Laulea is rated by 247Sports as the No. 1 overall player in the 2024 class at the JUCO rank.
Oregon currently has CB commitments from both Ify Obidegwu and Dakoda Fields, but they would welcome the addition of Laulea to the room as well. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, the Ducks currently are the heavy favorites to land a commitment, sitting at 83.6% likelihood.
No date has been set for his commitment just yet, but we will hope to hear good news about Laulea in the future.
