Oregon landed a commitment from four-star DT A'mauri Washington over the weekend. He broke down why he picked the Ducks with MattRMoreno:
Matt began his career at Rivals in 2011 as recruiting editor and then publisher for Arizona affiliate, GOAZCATS.com. In 2022, he moved into an expanded role covering Pac-12 recruiting for Rivals.
The four-star prospect, who is originally from Detroit, had narrowed his choices down to Oregon, LSU, Oklahoma and Florida before making his decision. He took visits to see the first three schools up close earlier in the year. He last made the trek to Eugene late in July, and he plans to return to Oregon for an official visit some time this season.
“They’re some real active people,” Washington said. “They really entertaining. Real people you can really live through.” “I thought about it a little before I took my officials,” he said. “But, I was like, ‘Ah, let me take the officials and see what else I got.’ After I took the officials, I was like, ‘Lets go with Oregon.’ When I went up there last time I silent committed, came here and here I am with the shirt on.”
