247Sports four-star wide receiver Josh Delgado had high hopes for his visit to see the Oregon Ducks football program this weekend.

After all, the day he received his scholarship offer Delgado received a text from every coach on the coaching staff.

But when Oregon sat him down and showed him a short video of each of his top high school plays followed by the same formation and play design from Oregon's offense last year, he was blown away by the attention to detail.

"They'd show me running a route from last year and then they'd show me the exact same play, same formation from their film," Delgado said. "It showed me how I'd fit in. My mom was just saying, 'Out of all the places we've been, they would say, 'We could use you here, or they'd show you their highlights.' But Oregon was the first school ever to have shown me exactly that they run the same thing and that I'd fit in perfectly without it being much of a change."

The video itself didn't seal the deal.

But during his trip, the 5-foot-11, 172-pound California pass-catcher, who plays his high school football away from home at IMG Academy (Bradenton, Florida), decided he was ready to commit, choosing the Ducks over offers from Arizona State, Arkansas, USC, Washington and others:

"It was amazing," he said. "It was life-changing."

For Delgado, one of the keys to his trip was the sense of family he felt at Oregon - a compassion and kindness he felt extended beyond what he could bring to the program on the football field.

"At Oregon, it really felt like home," he said. "The coaches are really there for you, they really care about you. They treat you like family. Of course, they are going to treat you well, but the way they interacted with my family and the rest of the coaching staff. It was almost to the point where if you weren't a recruit or didn't know about football and you hung out with them, you wouldn't even know they are football coaches or the head coach. They treat everyone equal. Also, there's opportunity there. I felt wanted - not just wanted, but needed."

Delgado is the second wide receiver commit in the class of 2019, joining rising talent JR Waters, who added lated offers from Michigan and Nebraska.

He is also the second pledge of the weekend for the Ducks, joining Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu, the nation's No. 1 junior college prospect.

Oregon's secret to success so far on the recruiting trail?

Delgado doesn't believe it's the photo shoots or the impressive facilities.

He feels it boils down to solid relationships and trust.

"I really feel like I can be developed, not just as a player, but as a man at Oregon," Delgado said.
