This week, Oregon football fans were taken aback by rumours that five-star wide receiver Dallas Wilson had switched to Texas. The rumours spread quickly on social media. Retaining important commits has become even more crucial as the spring transfer window closes and teams turn their attention to high school recruiting. With 247 Sports, Wilson was rated as a five-star prospect 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 cycle as teams try to bolster their offensive line. Nearly all of the major universities have extended offers to Wilson, including Oregon, where he is currently 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 collegiate 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 reported by Charlie Williams of Inside Texas that the gifted receiver liked what Texas had done in terms of winning games and turning players into professionals.
Wilson is a large receiver for his age, and college coaches are salivating over what he could do for their programmes. 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 can feel secure in the knowledge that Oregon’s staff is working tirelessly to bring the player to Eugene.
