A 3 Star Army All-American.... funny how off the star rating system seems to be.

Great for him and maybe he can talk a few into joining him at Oregon.

That was the first thing I thought also. On scout he is ranked in the 50s as a OT.

Exactly. Tyler Johnstone was the guy they most bumped up/featured in their article about the new Rivals 250. Great work by the coaches to get on him early.

Obviously congrats to him and that's really exciting even for us fans, but just as a star system can be off, obviously so can these All-American selections.
Sometimes it could be picked based on high school production, but usually these things are chosen based on recognizable names from recruiting. Now if he were a 3* player who ends up a College All American, then the recruiting services obviously undervalued him.

Yup this is always a good sign. Part of the reason we lost Easley last year was because so many Florida recruits were talking to him and to the coaches about him.
It can't hurt to have a solid handful on our side.

The more guys we can have that are already committed or close to committing playing in either of the 2 big high school games the better as hopefully they can be in the ear of some of the guys that are on the fence or leaning towards other schools.

That's why we need more of the top rated players committed to Oregon early. I think Chip will have that within the next couple seasons if he keeps the team going in the right direction.
