Oregon and USC to battle it out for another Mater Dei star in 2025 class
The Oregon Ducks have found a great deal of success in recent years when it comes to landing top-rated prospects from Mater Dei High School in California, and taking them away from Lincoln Riley and the USC Trojans, who have the major geographical advantage.
It looks like Dan Lanning is working to do it once again, as well.
On Sunday, four-star cornerback Chuck McDonald announced his top four schools, listing Oregon alongside USC, Georgia and Alabama. McDonald, who stands at 6 feet, 180 pounds, is rated by the 247Sports composite as the No. 88 overall player and the No. 9 cornerback in the class of 2025.

A couple of weeks ago, the Ducks beat USC in the recruitment for Mater Dei four-star edge Nasir Wyatt, the No. 70 player in the class. Over the past couple of years, they’ve also landed five-star defensive lineman Aydin Breland and three-star wide receiver Jack Ressler. Oregon is also in the running for four-star wide receiver Marcus Harris and four-star running back Jordon Davison, both of whom are Mater Dei players.
The Ducks have the No. 16 recruiting class in the 2025 cycle.
