Jeffrey Manning Jr is a 6-foot-1, 190-pound defensive back from California. The talented three-star recruit chooses Oregon State over offers from UCLA, Utah, Washington State, BYU and many others.
Manning Jr. had previously de-committed from UCLA back at the end of July and reopened his recruitment. Since that time he and Oregon State linebacker coach Chad Kauha'aha'a have chatted frequently and developed a bond.
With his commitment Jeffrey Manning Jr. marks the second Cathedral High player (Arex Flemings) to commit to Oregon State. Another teammate, Jamire Calvin, very briefly committed to Oregon State before flipping to Nebraska.
