Isaac Slade-Matautia, 4-star LB, sets decision date; Oregon Ducks the favorite?

Where's the beef?

After a season in which the Oregon Ducks finished 4-8 and replaced Mark Helfrich with Willie Taggart, many are wondering how the program will address its needs along the defensive front seven.

Oregon has already added U.S. Army All-American defensive tackle Rutger Reitmaier and linebacker Sampson Niu, as well as defensive tackles Jordon Scott and Popo Aumavae, but more help should be on the way before Signing Day.

One of the key targets remaining on the board is Rivals four-star linebacker Isaac Slade-Matautia, who announced Tuesday evening that he will be making his college commitment at the Polynesian Bowl on January 21.
