One of the Ducks top targets got a big bump in a 247Sports rating update and is now a four-star prospect. Louisville (Ky.) Ballard inside linebacker Jared Casey is now a four-star prospect and in the top 300 of 247Sports own rankings.

Here's what 247Sports had to say in bumping up jared Casey:

Previously: No. 538 nationally, No. 23 ILB New: No. 260 nationally, No. 17 ILB Why the move: The Bluegrass State prospect is healthy as a senior after missing much of his junior and sophomore seasons with injuries. Playing in extended action for the first time in a year, Casey is showing a combination of size, athleticism in space and quickness off the edge that merits a bump to four-star status. That versatile set of skills translates well to the next level and makes him an increasingly coveted prospect. - Power

The bump also pushes Casey into four-star status in the 247Sports Composite. Casey is now rated by the composite rankings as the No. 307 prospect overall and the No. 18 inside-linebacker in the 2019 class.

Casey officially visited Oregon two weekends ago for the Stanford game. The linebacker was one of the first official visited Oregon has hosted this fall and the trip did not disappoint.

"Atmosphere was crazy, I never experienced anything like that," Casey told 247Sports' Steve Wiltfong. "Loudest stadium I have ever been in."

Casey was scheduled to visit the Ducks for their home opener on September 1st but pushed that visit back to the Stanford game. The linebacker does not have a timetable for a decision but was at Kentucky this past weekend and will be at Wisconsin on Oct. 6th.

The linebacker has been heavily recruited by Oregon linebacker coach Cort Dennison and is being recruited to play multiple linebacker positions for the Ducks. The Ducks currently have four commits at linebacker for the 2019 class with, Treven Ma'ae, Ge'Mon Eaford, Mase Funa and Isaac Townsend all projected at the position. Oregon is expected to take between four and five linebackers in the 2019 class but could take up to six depending on the prospects.
