Former 4-Star Ohio State Recruit Explains Why He Flipped Commitment To Oregon Ducks
Oregon Ducks receiver Jeremiah McClellan was a four-star wide receiver prospect during his time as a recruit, but he flipped his commitment from the Ohio State Buckeyes to Oregon before signing. McClellan recently detailed his decision to flip after a fall camp practice.
The Oregon Ducks are loaded with talent in the wide receiver room with a position group that consists of two former five-star recruits in Dakorien Moore and Evan Stewart, and then a heavy amount of former four-star recruits with Justius Lowe, Kyler Kasper, Jurrion Dickey, and Jeremiah McClellan.
As a recruit, McClellan flipped his decision from Ohio State to Oregon on signing day in December of 2023. With an already talent heavy room destined for competition in terms of earning snaps and reps, why did McClellan flip to Oregon?
While Ducks coach Dan Lanning, offensive line coach A’lique Terry, offensive coordinator Will Stein played a heavy influence, so did Oregon’s previous receivers coach Junior Adams, now with the Dallas Cowboys. But his departure brought in Ross Douglas to lead the position group, and with time McClellan has gotten to know his new coach.
Last season McClellan utilized his redshirt as a freshman. He had the opportunity to sit behind and study wide receivers Tez Johnson and Traeshon Holden that are now on NFL rosters.
