Ducks announce addition of 4-star EDGE Teitum Tuioti

4-star EDGE Teitum Tuioti will join the Ducks and practice with the team this week leading up to the Holiday Bowl, thanks to a new NCAA rule.

The early signing period hasn’t technically opened up in college football just yet, but the Oregon Ducks were able to take advantage of a new rule and make a big addition to the roster on Monday.

It was announced by the team that 4-star EDGE commit Teitum Tuioti, a hometown star at Sheldon Hich School in Eugene this past season, will be joining the team and practicing with the Ducks leading up to the Holiday Bowl. Tuioti will sign with the Ducks officially on Wednesday, but a new rule from the NCAA allows the recruit to join the team early and work with them through bowl preparation, though he won’t be eligible to play in the game.

Tuioti, the son of Oregon defensive line coach Tony Tuioti, stands at 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, and is rated as the No. 1 player in Oregon, and No. 211 overall player in the nation. He has been committed to the Ducks since July of 2022.

Three-star edge rusher Teitum Tuioti commits to Oregon

Teitum Tuioti, the son of Oregon defensive line coach Tony Tuioti, has decided to play for his dad at Oregon.

It would be a difficult conversion for Oregon defensive line coach Tony Tuioti to his boss Dan Lanning if Tuioti’s son didn’t commit to Oregon.

Fortunately for all involved, that talk doesn’t need to happen.

Three-star edge rush Teitum Tuioti announced today via Twitter that he will indeed become a Duck and just add on to what is becoming a formidable Class of 2023.

The Tuioti family came to Oregon from Nebraska after Tony accepted the job on Lanning’s staff. Teitum had offers from several schools, including the Cornhuskers. Oregon State, Kansas and Boise State were just a few who wanted Tuioti to join their defensive line.

At 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, Tuioti is ranked as the No. 2 high school player in Oregon.

Former Husker coach’s son to officially visit this weekend

The Cornhuskers will have a familiar name making an official visit this weekend.

A class of 2023 recruit will be visiting the Nebraska Football team this weekend even though his father no longer works on the sideline. Edge rusher Teitum Tuioti, son of former Husker defensive line coach Tony Tuioti, will officially visit Nebraska this weekend.

The 3-star pass rusher had played for Lincoln Southeast High School while his father worked for the Cornhuskers, but he now plays for Sheldon High out of Eugene, Oregon. His father, Tony Tuioti, coached at Nebraska for three seasons before accepting the same position at Oregon under first-year head coach Dan Lanning. Tony successfully recruited former Husker lineman Casey Rogers during the off-season after leaving for Oregon.

According to Rivals, Teitum Tuioti has received 11 total offers, but their Future Cast prediction shows a tie between the Ducks and the Cornhuskers. He’s currently listed as the third-best player in the 2023 recruiting class out of Oregon, according to both on3 and 247sports. This weekend will be Tuioti’s first official college visit.
