Couple other Oregon-adjacent draft picks-
Osa Odighizuwa (DT from David Douglas HS, Portland OR and UCLA) got picked in the 3rd round.
Tommy Togiai (DT from Idaho, went to Ohio State. Was either committed to the ducks or the ducks were leaders when he was a sophomore) was picked in the 4th round.
Isaiah Loudermilk (DT, U of Wisconsin - Oregon was in his top 2) got picked in the 5t h round.
Tre McKitty, one-time Oregon commit before playing right end at Florida State, got picked in the 3rd round.
Elijah Molden got picked in the 3rd round.
Tommy Togiai went to the same high school as Wayne Kirby, who played for Oregon as a true freshman in 2016 before transferring to BYU and then quitting football. That was our in. I’ve talked to Wayne a few times, nice guy and football just wasn’t for him. Togiai wasn’t coming to Oregon the way the program was going.
Loudermilk was a legit Oregon chance, he would have been a nice addition.
Osa, and before that his 5-star brother, were never going to Oregon. I think his brother had steroid issues and was an NFL bust. Osa just destroyed the Duck IOL this past season.
