Ranked No. 1 by the College Football Playoff selection committee, the Ducks flipped a pair of blue-chip prospects on Wednesday on the opening day of the early signing period -- quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, who had been committed to Cal, and Na'eem Offord, a cornerback who spent the past 10 months on Ohio State's board.
Sagapolutele, the top-ranked player from Hawaii, is listed as the No. 9 quarterback in the nation by the 247Sports composite. He committed to the Golden Bears on July 8 but took official visits to Georgia and Oregon in the interim.
He becomes the second quarterback in Oregon's 2025 class, joining fellow four-star prospect Akili Smith Jr., who is listed as the No. 15 QB nationally.
Smith's father played quarterback at Oregon from 1997-98, and the two played at the same high school -- Lincoln in San Diego.
Offord, from Parker High School in Birmingham, Ala., is the nation's No. 2 cornerback, as ranked by the 247Sports composite.
The Ducks signed their three five-star commits Wednesday morning, who include Dakorien Moore from Duncanville, Texas, who is No. 1 wide receiver in the class.
