Prep Ducks: Highlights and reactions from Oregon commits and targets on Friday night
College football has returned, and while that’s playing out on our television sets this weekend, the true core of the game was alive and well on Friday night at the high school level.
While these games aren’t easy to find on TV, thanks to social media we get to watch some of the top players across the nation line up on the gridiron and show us what makes them among the best recruits in the class.
We wanted to focus on players who are tied to the Oregon Ducks specifically, be it guys who have already committed or are top targets for Dan Lanning and his staff.
Here are some of the best highlights and reactions from those guys on Friday night:
Dante Moore Getting it Done

Ashton Cozart Toe Tap
Highland Park 24, Marcus 17 @ 2:29/3Q
Marauders go tempo again and have some success marching on the Scots. HP hasn't given Marcus WR Ashton Cozart many 1v1s tonight, but he makes good on this one by hauling in a 4yd TD pass from Cole Welliver. pic.twitter.com/BxcTYicUg8

Another One for Jaeden

2023 linebacker David Peevy put together a solid night for San Diego-Lincoln in a loss to Alemany. He was wearing his Oregon gloves and says he’ll visit the Ducks next month. Also has a Washington visit in a few weeks. Oregon, Washington and USC are standing out.@DSArivals pic.twitter.com/wlwHwpZud4

Big Dave Weighs In
From Sacking the QB, to Tackle For Losses, to causing a fumble, and his specialty, catching TD’s fr @_pierceclarkson, Matayo is a unique special athlete. The kid makes plays literally ALL OVER THE FIELD, on both sides of the ball. @TheFront54 Training #CheatCode #GodsPlan pic.twitter.com/uKT7teCmr0
