Things are certainly looking up for the Oregon Ducks on the recruiting trail, with 5-star QB prospect Nicholaus Iamaleava Jr. announcing his top-12 schools for the future, including the Ducks.

According to 247Sports, Iamaleava is ranked as the No. 17 player in the class of 2023, and the No. 4 rated quarterback.
