The Ducks have hit uncharted waters within the recruiting world.

The Ducks landed a big commitment from three-star wide receiver Dillon Mitchell.

Tuesday afternoon 2016 three-star wide receiver Dillon Mitchell announced a commitment to the Oregon Ducks, becoming Oregon's third verbal commitment in the 2016 recruiting class.

Mitchell spoke with DuckTerritory.com prior to his official announcement on his big decision.

"Before coming my decision was just going to be based off the school, but after seeing it in person and being there I realized everything about it just fits me," said Mitchell. "The coaches, I love them to death and they love me to death. It's the place I feel the most comfortable at."

Mitchell announced his decision at a school pep rally at 1:30 local time back in Memphis Tuesday.

Mitchell has been a regular unofficial visitor all across the country this football season taking in different schools and seeing what each program who has offered could present. Being in Eugene he knew it was the program, the school, and the town he needed to be at.

"The place just really fit who I am on and off the field," Mitchell said.

Mitchell and his parents flew into Eugene Friday and then stayed in town through Sunday and got a chance to see the entire program.

"I saw everything they could show me," laughed Mitchell."My parents loved everything about it. They instantly got the feel of home and knew I would be taken care of and I'd be fine out here on my own. They were as impressed or more than I was with this visit."

Oregon wide receiver coach Matt Lubick led the recruitment for the 6-foot-1 receiver out of Memphis, TN and he quickly gave the scholarship offer after Mitchell's landing.

"They offered me right when I got onto campus," explained Mitchell. "I sat down at a table with Lubick and he said they'd offered and told me to think about my offer going home."

Mitchell however had other plans. He knew going into this visit he wanted to commit and end his recruitment.

"I told him and coach Mark Helfrich I wanted to commit right away and so they asked me later in the day if I still felt that way and I said yes, so before the game on Saturday they introduced me to the team prior to the game as the latest commit and the place went wild."

Outside of Oregon Michigan State and Alabama were the two other schools who he was most impressed with and finished just behind the Ducks. Both programs along with Auburn, Ole Miss, and Ohio State were just a few of his scholarship offers.

Mitchell says he'll now work on recruiting other players from his area and class to consider the Ducks, "but I won't be pressuring them. I'll let them do their own thing, but I'll get in a word about considering the Ducks."

Oregon's coaching staff have informed Mitchell they like his play making ability at receiver and informed him he could have a similar role to what former Duck De'Anthony Thomas had at Oregon. "They said I remind them of De'Anthony Thomas and that I could work out in the slot, return kicks, and just get the ball in my hands."

Mitchell joins four-star quarterback Seth Green and three-star safety Brady Breeze as verbal commits in the 2016 recruiting class. Oregon's 2016 recruiting class is now ranked 15th in the country and tops in the Pac-12.
