No. 7 TE in the class of 2025, Jack VanDorselaer names Oregon among his top schools
As we near the end of the 2024 summer recruiting cycle, coaches will begin to look to next year’s class of recruits. One of those 2025 prospects, Jack VanDorselaer, recently showed interest in the Oregon Ducks, when he included them among his top nine schools.
VanDorselaer is listed as a wide receiver and tight end hybrid. At 6’5″ and 230 lbs, VanDorselaer would likely be fully a TE in college, but if he were to lose some weight, he could also become a high-point, possession WR for QBs to target over the middle of the field, and at his back shoulder along the sideline.

VanDorselaer is a 4-star recruit as of right now according to 247 Sports, though there is plenty of time for that ranking to move in either direction. Currently, 247 Sports has him ranked as the No. 7 TE in his class. Schools seem to agree with 247’s assessment because VanDorselaer has drawn the interest of top-quality programs such as Georgia, Alabama, USC, and more.
Since VanDorselaer is part of the class of 2025, we have to look further into the future to estimate his place in the team, and I have to make guesses as to what the team will need then. From my perspective, Terrance Ferguson will be an NFL TE by the start of the 2025 season, and Kenyon Sadiq (or someone else that gets picked up along the way) will be Oregon’s lead TE. That would leave room for someone like VanDorselaer to grow because he could get reps early in his career, while also getting to study under a talented TE such as Sadiq.
