It should come as no surprise but Oregon has lost another commit to its 2017 class.

This time Bingham (Utah) defensive end Langi Tuifua has opened things up.

The 6-foot-3, 200-pounder is Oregon's first commit in this class. In fact Tuifua committed to Erik Chinander while he was still on staff in July of 2015.

For a long time Tuifua was considered a 'likely' candidate to open things up following the hire of Brady Hoke. His scheme change didn't seem to fit Tuifua well and Oregon had not pursued him with vigor since.

BYU looks like a top candidate at this time to earn his commitment.

Tuifua is the nation's No. 245 ranked player.
