Each week during the college football season, we’ll use Tuesday as a chance to look back at four four-star prospects that shined during the previous week’s college football action. Today we will focus on a quartet of players that left their home states to attend college and are now having success far away from home.

As a recruit: Amadi’s recruitment took plenty of twists and turns, as it looked like he was initially bound for Tennessee, only to end up committing to Ole Miss prior to the start of his senior season. He would later flip to LSU in December with a plan to enroll early, but ended up committing to Oregon less than two weeks later and enrolling at the school despite never taking an official visit.
What he did this week: Amadi spent his first two seasons in Eugene as a starter at cornerback but was recently moved to safety and is thriving in the Ducks' rapidly improving defense. In Saturday’s win over Utah, Amadi made one of the games biggest plays, hitting Utah receiver Darren Carrington
for a loss, knocking the ball loose and scooping it up and returning it for a 49-yard touchdown. Amadi finished the game with three tackles, one pass deflection and one quarterback hurry. On the season, Amadi is tied for the Oregon team lead in interceptions and fumble recoveries.
