A lot of college football fans may be under the belief that recruiting is just something that happens for part of the year, but in today’s day and age, that couldn’t be more wrong.
Though the Oregon Ducks turned in an impressive 25th-ranked class earlier this month on national signing day, the grind hasn’t stopped for the coaching staff in Eugene, where they are still working to add a couple of pieces to the 2022 class, and being aggressive when it comes to landing top prospects in the 2023 class and beyond.

One of those top prospects in the 2023 class will be at the quarterback position, where the Ducks will undoubtedly look to grab a highly-rated player as early on as they can to help attract other stars to Eugene as well. So far, it appears that California’s 5-star QB Nico Iamaleava Jr. is the main target for Oregon. Standing at 6-foot-6, 200 pounds, Iamaleava is ranked by 247Sports as the No. 4 QB in the 2023 class, and No. 7 player overall.
Nico has a few schools that he is interested in, but after his recent visit to Eugene at the end of January, it is the Ducks who are currently in the lead to land him, according to On3 Recruits.

With a few visits left on his schedule, Iamaleava is expected to narrow his recruiting list down over the next month and plans to try and make his ultimate decision before the summer begins. If he does ultimately end up choosing the Ducks, it will be the biggest recruiting win in Dan Lanning’s young tenure at Oregon, and act as a recruiting boon for the 2023 class.
