What do we know about him?
From duck sports authority
Marcus Rios was committed to Boise State until a couple weeks ago, but things have changed. The 4* CB is taking visits including one getting set for Eugene

His recruiting has blown up as bigger schools have become interested. I think Boise pulled his offer. Many believe that UCLA is the favorite, but Oregon offers, I think we could see him in Eugene next year. I could also see Cal offering him soon.
He's a physical, smart corner. Would be a nice player opposite of Ifo - who is also physical, but is faster and more of a playmaker. Rios isn't going to be the next Cliff Harris, but you won't see him making many mistakes. Just a solid guy in coverage. Would be a very nice addition.
Right now, I think Kevon Seymour and Ishmael Adams are more of a priority. Many feel that Seymour will end up at USC and Adams at Cal, though visits could obviously change things. Personally, I think Oregon has a better shot at Adams.

Rios looks like a stud. Great size and plays the ball very well, he's and the twins along with Ifo would give us 4 very good sized corners.

Surprised. He seemed like a sure Duck. Ducks will probably get Seymour imo.

Hope you're right but i've read he wants to stay local because of his family background. I would bet Usc or Ucla

Disagree. Adams has long been considered a Cal lean. Bryce Treggs has really been recruiting him hard and I believe they've become pretty good friends (probably played together at a lot of camps).
Seymour supposedly favors USC, but I definitely think Oregon is in it since he'll be visiting for the USC game.

Cal/UO battles other than the NC four have really been going the Ducks way the last couple years. A visit and I think we would have won.
Don't forget Trae also, I don't remember where I read it but he might visit for the USC game.

Elston would be awesome. I haven't heard much of his recruitment. I'd love to see Oregon land the three Oxford boys - Alexander, Elston, and Flint. Haven't heard anything about Flint lately either.
