The Oregon football class of 2019 is a work in progress. Sort of. With three weeks until national letter-of-intent day, they have several slots remaining and a handful of targets left to fill them.



But the class is mostly complete because of the success of the coaching staff during the early signing period. On December 19th they signed 22 athletes to the class, securing the top-ranked recruiting class in program history.

Our Top Recruiter series has featured four coaches who were the top dogs during the early signing period: Keith Heyward, Michael Johnson, Marcus Arroyo and Cort Dennison.

Today we honor Oregon’s 2019 Top Recruiter: DL/Associate Head Coach Joe Salave’a.

When you look at the results, no assistant coach played a more valuable role than defensive line coach Big Joe.
