This week, Oregon football fans were taken aback by speculations that five-star wide receiver Dallas Wilson had switched to Texas. The claims spread quickly on social media. Retaining important commits has become even more crucial as the spring transfer window closes and coaches turn their attention to high school recruitment. With 247 Sports, Wilson was rated as a five-star recruit last month.
The Tampa, Florida native, who stands 6 feet 3 inches and weighs 180 pounds, is a highly sought-after prospect in this year’s draft as teams try to bolster their offensive line. Nearly all of the big universities have extended offers to Wilson, including Oregon, where he is now committed, Auburn, Miami, Florida, and Texas.
Wilson established his worth early and often for Tampa Bay Tech as a junior by recording 49 receptions for 872 yards and nine touchdowns in 13 games. He now turns his attention to the university ranks, where numerous elite teams compete for his services.
Wilson was visited by Jeff Banks, the tight ends coach and special teams coordinator, in Tampa, and it was stated by Charlie Williams of Inside Texas that the gifted receiver liked what Texas had done in terms of winning games and turning guys into professionals.
Wilson is a large receiver for his age, and college coaches are salivating over what he may do for their programs. As a result, visits to Oregon, Miami, and Florida are planned for this summer.
Dan Lanning has never shied away from showcasing his commitment to selecting the greatest players available, and Wilson is undoubtedly at the top of his list this year. Although it’s difficult to predict a player’s final destination due to the myriad factors involved in their recruitment, Duck supporters should feel secure in the knowledge that Oregon’s team is working tirelessly to get the athlete to Eugene.
