With new Oregon Football head coach Dan Lanning being a mastermind of defense, was it any surprise that half the players visiting for a star-studded recruiting weekend to finish off June were along the defensive line?
Among them was 5-star blue-chipper Matayo Uiagalelei, another in a long line of Polynesian athletes that UO has looked to draw in with their small-town vibe and family atmosphere.
Uiagalelei is a terrific prospect to help shore up the defensive line, and with his size and speed could easily be as disruptive of a force as the recently departed Kayvon Thibodeaux was.
