When Oregon coach Mario Cristobal tweets out a GIF of WWE Samoan wrestler Umaga with the hashtag #TrenchWarfare, you know something really cool just happened.
That something was 4-star offensive lineman Dave Iuli committing to Oregon. Iuli stands at 6-foot-5 and weighs 330 pounds. Out of Puyallup, Wash., Iuli, who is the No. 7 offensive guard in the country according to Rivals.com, selected the Ducks over Oklahoma, USC, Cal, and Washington.
This is just the latest big-time recruit Cristobal and offensive line coach Alex Mirabal has been able to add to the Class of 2022. Iuli joins the likes of Michael Wooten, Kelvin Banks, and Cameron Williams.
The loss of Iuli is just another recruiting blow the Huskies and coach Jimmy Lake have to endure. We discussed this in the latest episode of the Trojans Wired podcast.
They (Washington) should be worried that the recruiting has definitely dropped off. They lost out on JT Tuimoloau and he’s from Washington. The number one recruit in the nation and he was right there in their backyard. So now they’re worried about the overall recruiting and it’s in the middle of the Pac-12. Most recruiting sites list the Huskies as fifth or sixth and in Seattle, that’s not good enough. And right now Oregon is killing it when comes to recruiting.
