Jeremy Castro likes the Ducks

Post by UOducksTK1 »

Yes, I've been lurking on recruit's facebooks. Anyway Oregon just offered Jeremy Castro, and he posted "Oregon oregon oregon:)"

247 saying he loves us too, so we'll just have to see how this plays out.

He's a very talented DE, it'd be awesome if the Ducks could lock Castro up before the summer ends.

240 isn't the biggest kid out there, hopefully he has a frame where he can build on.

I think his scout numbers are more accurate. 6'3" 245. Certainly a good start for a senior to be in high school.

Scout says he's a OLB.

I love his offer list as well. Looks like a player who could play the drop end position since he's projected as a OLB/DE.

I see his line of thinking since most think DL at the college level are bigger than that, although Oregon has proven that DL don't need to be massive, hulking players. Kenny Rowe was at 230 last season, and he did fine at DE.

Kenny Rowe was listed at 6'3" and 225 in his recruiting bio. His predecessor Nick Reed came in at 6'2" and 228. If this kid can perform like those two I would take him in a heartbeat.

240 is normal to large for a weak side DE out of high school.

And it's pretty much the size that Oregon likes it's DE to have.

Yeah, definitely the frame Oregon is looking for in their DEs. Plus the offers speak highly of any recruit IMO.

According to scout, Castro may be close to committing. Would absolutely love this pickup. It sounds like Castro is a beast and after doing a little research, I found that he has a 3.25 gpa, so his grades won't be an issue (always have to check with our d-line recruits ;) )
