The state of Oregon has produced its share of prospects over the years, but it’s not exactly known for being a major talent hotbed. However, thanks to the new staff in Eugene, the Willamette Valley has gotten an injection of talent, via the offspring of the new Ducks coaches. Two sons of Oregon coaches, 2019 four-star quarterback Michael Johnson Jr. and 2019 athlete Raymond Woodie III, have relocated to Eugene to join their fathers, Michael Johnson Sr. (wide receivers coach) and Raymond Woodie (outside linebackers). Both recruits will attend Sheldon High School. The pair was in attendance at Sunday’s event and showed flashes of the talent that has both players in double-digits when it comes to offers. Despite the connection to the Ducks, both insisted that they are letting the recruiting process play out and will take several visits before making a final decision.
