Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks continue to stay in the mix with some of the top guys down south, recently making the cut for safety DaKaari Nelson, a highly-rated player out of Selma, Alabama.

Nelson, who stands at 6-foot-3, 203 pounds, is a 4-star recruit who ranks as the 18th best safety in the nation, and 187th best overall player.

In his most recent recruiting cut-down, Nelson included Oregon in his top-11, where he also listed Tennessee, Auburn, Arkansas, Clemson, Oklahoma, Penn State, Central Florida, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, and Florida State.

While much of Oregon’s coaching staff has strong recruiting ties on the west coast, it is great to see some of the top guys from down south continue to look at the Ducks in their recruitment. With Lanning and defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi on the staff, Oregon is pretty well spread across the nation when it comes to connections with talented players.
