The Oregon Ducks 2018 football recruiting class was largely wrapped up during early February at the start of the traditional signing period.

But Oregon added an intriguing preferred walk-on quarterback Wednesday, as 247Sports two-star pro-style passer Brad Yaffe announced his commitment via social media:

Excited to announce my commitment to play and go to school at the University of Oregon. Thanks @coacharroyoTheO @coach_cristobal @oregonfootball pic.twitter.com/OmFoppVEER — Brad Yaffe (@bradyaffe16) February 28, 2018

The 6-foot-2, 185-pound quarterback, out of Sacred Heart Prep (Atherton, California), visited Eugene over the weekend during the Junior Day festivities.

After a discussion with his family upon returning home, Yaffe weighed his options and decided to become a Duck.

"Talking to coaches, meeting with them and seeing everything that could help me in football and in academics, I knew it was the right move for me," he said. "I was going over a few other options at TCU, Louisiana-Lafayette, San Jose State and a few high-academic DIII schools. We were weighing the pros and cons with those schools and what Oregon had, but that's when Oregon stood out, because it was one of the only schools where I could benefit in graduating early and play for one of the best programs in the country."

Despite having options late, Yaffe had a difficult time with the recruiting process, as he saw many friends and teammates tweet out scholarship offers throughout the recruiting cycle while a few of his opportunities fell through.

"It was kind of tough," he explained. "I focused a lot of my recruiting on the East Coast and was told I was going to be the guy at a lot of programs over there. It didn't work out, but in the end I'm thankful, because there's no better place than Oregon."

Yaffe intends to major in business at Oregon, and aims to graduate in three years with an intensified academic schedule.
