A number of the top-ranked recruits have already come to Eugene on official visits over the past couple of weeks, and more are scheduled to make their way to see the Oregon Ducks this summer. One of the top players is 5-star safety Jireh Edwards, who was on campus earlier this spring to check things out.
Edwards is scheduled to take an OV to Eugene on June 19, but on Wednesday morning, a prediction from On3’s Steve Wiltfong landed for the 5-star defensive back to land with the Alabama Crimson Tide.
The 247Sports Composite rates Edwards, who stands at 6-foot-2, 205 pounds, as the No. 23 overall player in the class, and the No. 2 safety. He has strong ties to Eugene, where his former St. Francis Academy teammate, CB Ify Obidegwu, is expected to be one of the starters in 2025 and have a breakout season.
Edwards is scheduled to announce his commitment on July 5 after OVs to Texas A&M and Oregon.
If Edwards does end up going to the SEC school, Oregon should be able to pivot. This past weekend, they had 5-star safety Jett Washington on campus and are reportedly in a good position to land his commitment after the successful visit.
