The Oregon Ducks just landed a massive commitment, getting their 2024 recruiting class off to a hot start.
4-star tight end A.J. Pugliano, the No. 1 ranked player in the state of Oregon, announced his commitment to the Ducks on Monday morning. Over the weekend, it was projected by multiple sources that he would be committing to the Ducks, and he didn’t waste much time doing so.
As someone who grew up in Oregon, the Ducks have always been close to Pugliano’s heart, he told me earlier this year.
“I grew up a Duck fan my whole life prior to my recruitment and all of that. I would go to a couple of Duck games a year because both of my parents graduated from Oregon,” Pugliano told me back in February after his visit to Eugene. “From a fan perspective, they’ve been my number one for as long as I can remember.”
Pugliano is rated as the No. 5 tight end in the 2024 class, and the No. 91 overall player in the nation.
