Oregon has historically recruited the state of California but with the 2019 class, it's been the best it's ever been for the Ducks. The "#CaliFlock" is in full force with Mario Cristobal and his staff, the Ducks effectively have landed the seven of the top 21 prospects in the 2019 class from the Golden State according to the 247Sports composite.

On Tuesday, 2019 cornerback Chris Steele announced that he would be transferring from the Florida Gators to the Oregon Ducks after just one term in Gainsville. With the news of Steele's transfer, the Ducks have now taken the historical best and made it even better.

Prior to Steele, the Ducks had signed six of the top 21 prospects but now the Ducks have signed seven, including the state's top three defensive prospcts for the 2019 class with Steele (No. 5), Mykael Wright (No. 4) and Kayvon Thibodeaux (No. 1).

The other Oregon signees in the top 21 of the 247Sports include Jonah Tauanu'u (No. 11), Mase Funa (No. 14), Mycah Pittman (No. 17), and Sean Dollars (No. 21). In addition to those prospects, Oregon signed Keyon Ware-Hudson, Sua'ava Poti, Jayvaun Wilson and JR Waters from California. Additionally, Josh Delgado played in California at St John Bosco (the same school as Steele and Poti) before transferring to Florida's IMG Academy for his senior season. Delgado would have been the No. 14 prospect if he would have counted towards the state of California.

Comparing Oregon's haul of the top 21 prospects in the state, the Ducks had over double the number of prospects from California than any other school. Washington signed three California prospects in the top 21, USC and Texas each had two, while ASU, Clemson, Michigan, South Carolina, Stanford, Tennessee, and UCLA each had one.

Even though Oregon already landed Sua'ava Poti from St John Bosco, it still reinforces the stat that Oregon was the only program who landed a recruit from each of the top three teams in MaxPreps National Football Rankings.

Of the 12 signees (including Steele) from California, five of those ended up attending one of the top two programs in the final MaxPreps rankings for the 2018 season. Three Oregon signees come from the No. 1 team in MaxPreps rankings, Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei. Oregon landed defensive lineman Keyon Ware-Hudson, linebacker Mase Funa and running back Sean Dollars from the Mater Dei Monarchs. Coming in at No. 2 in the MaxPreps poll was Bellflower (Calif.) St John Bosco which is home to Oregon defensive line signee Sua'ava Poti and Chris Steele.

The third place team in Maxpreps poll was Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy which was home to wide receiver Joshua Delgado for his senior season.

Although USC did originally land prospects from all three schools, wide receiver Bru McCoy transferred to Texas just two weeks after enrolling at USC. 247Sports is counting McCoy as a Texas signee and enrollee, though he did technically enroll at USC for ten days. Aside from the Trojans, Wisconsin is the other school to land prospects from St John Bosco and IMG Academy. Utah and Colorado both had signees from St John Bosco and Mater Dei.
