Oregon offer brings 'wow factor' for 2023 DE/OLB Hunter Clegg
Oregon is one of the recent offers for 2023 edge defender Hunter Clegg, and he remains impressed by the Ducks.
Oregon jumped into the mix with an offer a couple weeks ago to American Fork, Utah edge rusher Hunter Clegg. The 6-foot-4 junior was still on JV as a sophomore playing wide receiver with some success. At the urging of some coaches he decided to add weight last year ahead of his junior season and make the transition to defense. He had more success and now has become a rising recruit in the 2023 class. He's picked up most of his offers over the last month or so. Oregon is one of his recent offers, and he was definitely left impressed by the Ducks' decision to get involved. He's hoping to get on a visit at some point once the dead period is over, but he has a lot of respect for Dan Lanning and Tony Tuioti right now. Utah has emerged as the early favorite and his brother just signed as a PWO with the Utes, but he sounds adamant that other programs are going to have a chance to earn his commitment.
"It’s always just been that wow program where I never thought anything like that would ever happen. ... It was probably one of my more emotional offers, just that wow factor from Oregon. Then, coach Lanning being at Oregon you know he knows his stuff, and he knows what talent looks like. So, he’d be a good guy to be around so you can know what you need to do to get to that next level.”
