Sav'ell Smalls, 5-star athlete, says Oregon Ducks 'definitely a contender for me' after visit

The Oregon Ducks hosted an important collection of visitors over the weekend for the game against Stanford, including two of the nation's top five class of 2020 prospects.

Five-star quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei was impressed by what he saw despite the loss, and that same sentiment was shared by Rivals five-star defensive end/tight end Sav'ell Smalls, who attended the Oregon game hoping to get a feel for what the program could look like in the future under the direction of Mario Cristobal.

The 6-foot-4, 230-pound jumbo athlete, out of Garfield High School (Seattle, Washington), returned home believing Oregon has all the pieces in place to be a future national title contender.
