Oregon Football: Top National Signing Day Targets

4. Brian Thompson, 3-star WR (Moreno Valley, CA)

Brian Thompson is a lengthy wide receiver that the Oregon Ducks have high on their radar. Adding him to their offense is a priority for head coach Willie Taggart and company.

Thompson is a three-star wide receiver coming in at 6-foot-3 and 180 pounds. He ranks 415 overall in the nation, 61st best at his position and the 46th best player in the state of California. The Moreno Valley native caught 58 passes for 1,259 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns in his senior season at Rancho Verde High School.

The Ducks currently have one receivers commitment already, three-star Johnny Johnson III, but they lost two to graduation (Devon Allen and Darren Carrington). There’s plenty of room for Thompson to thrive and the Oregon Ducks will already be a young team entering 2017 as is.

The recruiting battle isn’t very hard for the Ducks to overcome either. While Nebraska and Washington are favorites, both teams have four and three commitments respectively already. Playing time has to play a role in Thompson’s decision, after all, it is the only way to get noticed.

The three-star prospect has narrowed his choices down to Boise State, Nebraska, Oregon, UCLA, Utah and Washington State. But has still yet to make a choice. Thompson will make his final decision on National Signing Day.
