5-Star Oregon Target Picks up New On3 Prediction

Intriguing News for Oregon Football Fans

On3’s recruiting predictor is projecting that 5-star Oregon target Jayden McGowan is headed to Eugene. McGowan, a wide receiver from California, is one of the top players in the 2024 class. He is ranked as the No. 5 wide receiver and the No. 15 overall player in the country by 247Sports.

McGowan has been a top target for Oregon for some time. He visited the school in June and was very impressed with what he saw.

“Oregon was great,” McGowan said. “The coaches were awesome and I really liked the campus. I’m definitely interested in Oregon.”

McGowan’s Prediction

On3’s recruiting predictor gives Oregon a 61.9% chance of landing McGowan. This is a significant increase from the 38.9% chance that the Ducks had in June.

There are a few reasons why McGowan’s prediction has changed. First, Oregon has had a great start to the 2023 season. The Ducks are 4-0 and ranked No. 10 in the country.

Second, McGowan has been impressed with the development of Oregon’s young wide receivers. Troy Franklin and Kyion Grayes have both emerged as stars this season.

Finally, McGowan has a good relationship with Oregon wide receivers coach Junior Adams. Adams is a rising star in the coaching ranks and he has been able to build a strong bond with McGowan.

If McGowan does commit to Oregon, it would be a major coup for the Ducks. He would be the highest-rated recruit to commit to Oregon since quarterback Ty Thompson in 2021.

McGowan is expected to make his college decision in the spring. Oregon is the favorite to land him, but other schools such as Alabama, Ohio State, and USC are also in the running.
