Elijah Blades, No. 1 JUCO Cornerback, Commits to Ducks

At this point we here at ATQ are just waiting for the bad news, but for now, let us bask in Cristobal’s recruiting glory as yet another high profile recruit joins the ranks of the U of O!

Elijah Blades is the nation’s second best prospect at cornerback, the second best player our of California and the seventh best player nationally- according to 247. Furthermore, the 6-foot-2, 170-pound defensive back from Pasadena is considered the nation’s No. 1 juco cornerback. Cornerbacks coach Donte Williams is credited as the primary recruiter.

Oregon remains at the No. 4 spot in 247’s 2019 recruiting class rankings, but that is likely to change after the upcoming Saturday Night Live event at Autzen.
