You win some, you lose some. Such is the case in all things sport-related, and recruiting is no exception.
Last week Oregon landed a commitment from four-star edge rusher Blake Purchase, who also held offers from Notre Dame, Iowa State, Colorado, and (shudder) Washington. The 6-foot-3 240-pound defensive end hails from Englewood, Colorado and is the 18th overall pledge in new head coach Dan Lanning’s inaugural class.
Unfortunately, the Ducks weren’t so fortunate when it came to four-star tight end and No.1 player in the state of Oregon’s 2024 class, Joey Olsen, who committed to Lincoln Riley and USC.
