2. Josh Falo, 4-star TE (Sacramento, CA)

Josh Falo is another offensive prospect the Oregon Ducks have their targets set on. Falo is a 6-foot-5 and 235 pound tight end prospect out of Sacramento. He ranks 140th nationally, fourth at his position and 19th overall in the state of California, according to 247 Sports.

Falo took his official visit to Oregon this past weekend on January 27 and based on current predictions, it looks like the visit went pretty well. The Ducks are early leaders in earning Falo’s pledge. He has named his top 10 schools, which consist of Oregon, UCLA, USC and Alabama to name a few. But all signs currently point to Eugene.

The four-star tight end took an official visit to USC on January 14. With one commitment and virtually no tight ends on the roster, the Trojans could become a late winner in Falo’s recruitment. The Ducks currently have three commitments with one tight end on their 2017 roster.

With Willie Taggart coming in, an overhaul of the offense could be expected. With his size and athleticism, Falo could easily work his way into the Ducks’ rotation.

However, the Ducks must play the waiting game like everybody else. Falo will make his final decision on January 30.
