After Terrance Ferguson went down this spring, tight end immediately became a position that the Oregon Ducks need to recruit. Since then, true freshman Kenyon Sadiq has been impressive and a few days ago, the Ducks picked up TE Kaden Ludwick from Colorado. Still, tight end has remained a focus., and the Ducks still want to bring in high-end talent.
In the class 2024, the No. 1 TE in the country, Jaden Reddell has shown interest in Oregon. On Wednesday, he announced that he has narrowed his search to five schools, one of which is the Ducks.
As a high school player, Reddell seems most comfortable lining up out wide, catching the ball over the middle, and maximizing his yards after the catch. While he is somewhat undersized for TE, he has above-average speed and quickness that allows him to create separation against both man and zone coverages.
Of Reddell’s top five schools, Oregon is the only one near the west coast, which could mean Reddell has his heart set on staying out east, or he could be including Oregon because he wants a change of scenery. Regardless, he is a skilled player, that will make a strong impact wherever he ends up.
