Five-star Oregon WR commit sets official visit with Florida

The Gators are looking to flip this highly-heralded 2025 recruit from the Ducks.

Florida football is back on the recruiting trail after a short lull in the action, and while the Gators are getting a plethora of prep prospects on campus this spring, Billy Napier and Co. are also filling out their summer official visit schedule as well.

One of the big names that recently scheduled a trip to Gainesville this summer is five-star wide receiver [autotag]Dallas Wilson[/autotag] out of Tampa (Florida) Tampa Bay Tech in the 2025 cycle. The 6-foot-3-inch, 180-pound pass-catcher is currently committed to the Oregon Ducks as of Jan. 17, 2023, but appears to still be testing the waters for better opportunities.

“I’ve been opening my eyes up to other schools more and more and seeing what’s going on with them just to get a feel for it,” Wilson said to InsideTheU after a recent visit there this month. I don’t know how it’s going to end up in the end. I still like Oregon, but I’m considering other schools–Miami one of them.”

His visit date is set for the weekend of June 14-16. He also has visits planned to Miami the weekend of June 7-9 and with Oregon the weekend of June 21-23.

As far as other schools still in the hunt for his talents, he offered up several suggestions earlier this month.

“Miami, shoutout to them boys,” Wilson told 247Sports. “Florida State. The Gator boys. Tennessee. We’ve got Clemson coming hard. Auburn. There’s a couple more.”

The high school junior’s recruitment has been spearheaded by wide receivers coach Billy Gonzales and assistant wide receiver David Doeker, along with an assist to Napier.

“I talk to them a lot through the phone, and you can feel the energy from them,” he told 247Sports. “In person though, it’s way more better. They are the type of people to being the energy out you. They make you have a good feeling when you’re talking to them. They all make you feel good.”

Recruiting summary

Wilson is ranked No. 22 overall and No. 5 at his position nationally according to the 247Sports composite while the On3 industry ranking has him at Nos. 25 and 5, respectively.

Oregon Ducks’ 5-star WR commit plans to attend Gators-Vols game

The list of Week 3 recruiting visitors continues to grow as this five-star prospect sets his sight on Sept. 16.

The 2023 edition of the Florida-Tennessee college football rivalry represents the Southeastern Conference schedule opener for both schools on Sept. 16. It also serves as a major moment in the Gators’ recruiting efforts as a plethora of prep prospects have planned to converge on the Swamp that Saturday.

One of the bigger names planning on a mid-September stop in Gainesville is five-star wide receiver [autotag]Dallas Wilson[/autotag] out of Tampa (Florida) Bay Tech in the 2025 recruiting cycle, who is currently committed to the Oregon Ducks. According to Swamp247, the 6-foot-3-inch, 180-pound pass-catcher will be at the game alongside many others in his class.

Billy Napier and Co. were late to the game in Wilson’s recruitment, having waited until Aug. 1 to initiate contact. However, the top-shelf receiver did make a visit for the spring scrimmage in April but did not spend any time face-to-face with the Gators’ staff.

The gameday trip will be a great opportunity for Napier and his coaches to establish a much stronger connection with the high school junior.

“Florida, when they offered me, it was a good feeling,” Wilson told Swamp247. “I want to go back up there and see it and connect with the coaches. I haven’t talked to them in person yet. I didn’t meet with them at the spring game, so I want to get out there and meet with them. I want to check them out, but I will probably because they don’t really know me. I want to go visit and everything. I was going to wait for an offer from them.”

The blue-chip athlete was also in Orlando last weekend for the Florida State Seminoles vs. LSU Tigers game. As it appears, he is not completely locked in the Ducks just yet.

Wilson is rated at five stars and ranked No. 24 overall and No. 5 at his position nationally according to the 247Sports composite while the On3 industry ranking rates him at four stars and ranked at Nos. 35 and 7, respectively.

Ducks off to blazing start in 2025, among top-ranked schools in national rankings

In the past few days, Oregon has added a pair of elite players in the 2025 class. They now rank as one of the best teams in the cycle.

Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks are working hard to land one of the top-rated recruiting classes in the 2024 class and one of the best blue-chip ratios in the Pac-12 Conference. They have a top 15 class at the moment.

That hasn’t stopped them from getting off to a blazing hot start on the 2025 class, for which they’ve already picked up a handful of blue-chip players and rank among the top schools in the nation.

On Monday, the Ducks landed a commitment from four-star quarterback Akili Smith Jr., the son of Oregon legend Akili Smith, a former Pac-10 Player of the Year and the No. 3 pick in the 1999 NFL draft. The Ducks also have commitments from four-star wide receiver Dallas Wilson, the No. 24 player in the 2024 class, and four-star WR Adrian Wilson, the No. 163 player in the class.

Earlier in the year, Oregon also grabbed a commitment from three-star interior offensive lineman Sandman Thompson.

So with four commitments already in 2025, where do the Ducks stand in the national rankings? Let’s take a look:

Oregon WR commit Dallas Wilson quickly rising among top-ranked players in 2025 class

Oregon WR commit has quickly risen to near the top of the 2025 recruiting rankings since committing to the Ducks.

On January 17, 2023, a player by the name of Dallas Wilson announced that he was committing to the Oregon Ducks. 

I had never heard of him, and I’m sure that a lot of Oregon fans were with me in asking “Who?” when the news came out.

Upon further research, it turned out that Wilson was a wide receiver from Florida in the class of 2025 who had received an offer from Oregon just hours before offering his verbal commitment. He was unrated by all of the major recruiting websites, so it was hard to get a feeling for how excited fans were to get about his commitment. He looked good, but nobody knew too much about him just yet.

They’re quickly learning.

While Wilson, a 6-foot-3, 180-pound player out of Tampa Bay has continued to grow and put highlights on tape, the recruiting world is taking notice. While ESPN and Rivals have yet to grade him out, both 247Sports and On3 have done their scouting, and the results are incredibly impressive.

While still considered a high-end 4-star, Wilson is rated as the No. 21 overall player in the 2025 class by 247Sports, and the No. 4 WR in the class. On3 is not as generous with their ranking, though he still lands as the No. 105 player and No. 17 WR.

Not too bad for a recruit that few Oregon fans knew of when he committed, huh?

2025 Oregon WR Dallas Wilson to take first visit to Eugene this weekend

Oregon’s 2025 WR Dallas Wilson will be taking his first visit to Eugene this coming weekend.

The Oregon Ducks are expecting a number of 2023, 2024, and 2025 prospects in town for recruiting visits this coming weekend, and it will give one future Duck his first look at the facilities in Eugene.

2025 wide receiver Dallas Wilson committed to Oregon last week just hours after receiving an offer from the Ducks. He will now make his way to Eugene this weekend for his first visit with Oregon, giving the young WR a chance to meet Dan Lanning and the coaching staff.

“I’m looking forward to the family I’m going to be a part of and the excitement that comes with it,” Wilson told me.

Wilson is not yet rated by any recruiting sites, but he’s a fast-rising prospect with scholarship offers from the likes of Alabama, Miami, Penn State, Florida State, and West Virginia, among several others.

2025 WR Dallas Wilson announces commitment to Oregon Ducks

Dallas Wilson, an unrated 2025 WR with offers from Alabama and Georgia, announced his commitment to the Ducks.

The Oregon Ducks got a commitment on Tuesday afternoon, landing 2025 wide receiver Dallas Wilson, an unrated player from Tampa Bay Tech High School.

Wilson is the first member of the 2025 class for the Ducks.

While he does not yet have a rating from 247Sports or On3, Wilson reportedly has offers from some notable schools, such as the Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs. According to his Twitter, he received an offer from Oregon earlier in the day on Tuesday and announced his commitment a few hours later.

In today’s world of recruiting, it will be interesting to see if he sticks with the Ducks for the next two years before he ends up signing, but as of now, Oregon has their first WR in the 2025 class.

UGA football offers talented WR Dallas Wilson

The Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama Crimson Tide have offered 2025 wide receiver Dallas Wilson

The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a scholarship to talented class of 2025 wide receiver recruit Dallas Wilson. Wilson is only a sophomore in high school.

Kirby Smart and Georgia join other schools, including Alabama, Indiana, Florida State and Tennessee, in offering the young wide receiver prospect. The 6-foot-3, 180-pound receiver has over a dozen scholarship offers.

He is too young to be ranked as a recruit, but Wilson could end up as one of the top receivers in the class of 2025. Wilson plays high school football for Tampa Bay Tech in Tampa Bay, Florida.

According to Wilson, he finished his sophomore season with 40 receptions for 875 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns. The talented athlete also plays safety.

Wilson is excellent after the catch and is capable of winning jump balls. It will be fun to watch him develop over the years.

The Tampa Bay Tech standout announced his scholarship offer from Georgia football via Twitter:

Alabama offers 2025 WR Dallas Wilson from Florida

Alabama’s coaching staff recently extended an offerr to 2025 wide receiver Dallas Wilson.

It isn’t often that Alabama’s coaching staff decides to pursue underclassmen early on in the recruiting process. However, the Tide recently extended an offer to 2025 wide receiver Dallas Wilson.

Wilson plays for Tampa Bay Tech School in Tampa, Florida. Despite having two years of high school remaining, Wilson has already brought in 10 offers. That is relatively high considering the Florida native is not yet ranked on any recruiting sites.

The Tide typically do well when they recruit wide receivers from the south Florida area. Alabama cornerbacks coach Travaris Robinson has also proven to be an elite recruiter in that area. I would expect the Tide to continue to pursue Wilson as his high school career continues.
