The unofficial game day visits for the No. 2 Oregon Ducks from 2028 recruits are starting to file in. Seven high-level names from the states of Utah and California plan to check out Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon, this fall.
A trip from one athlete from Timpview in Provo, Utah, is an important one; if all goes well, it could lead to an official visit in the spring.

The 6-1, 185-pounder, who's one of the top prospects coming out of the state of Utah, revealed what's standing out about Oregon ahead of his visit to Eugene.
“Oregon is one of those schools everyone wants to go to when they’re young," he said to Biggins. "I like the offense and how well I would fit in there. I like how they use the receivers too and had a really good time at their camp. I enjoyed working with coach (Ross) Douglas, and I know I would learn a lot from him. He was very detailed and coached me hard, which I like.”
Another product coming out of the state of Utah that's considering Oregon is three-star tight end Steeler Wesley.
