I suspect most recruits have the gear from all the schools they are seriously considering.
But why would him and his family go all the way down to Eugene just for Duck gear when Portland is closer?

a) He wanted to show his family around because he is going to commit to the Ducks.
or
b) As part of a fact finding mission and to show his family around so they can be more informed in advising him on a tough decision not yet made.
or
c) His family wanted to get the kind of tour of the UO they won't be able to get once he signs with USC, they might be bigger Duck fans than he is.

d) none of the above
Your c) is a huge stretch. But these kids can always change their minds, so until he signs a LOI we will have to wait and see. But it does look in favor of the Ducks.
more than the trip to eugene during the dead period - its his own admission this week during AA practices that he prefers playing offense that has me thinking he's a Duck
