It didn’t take long for Mario Cristobal and Marcus Arroyo to find a suitable replacement after losing out on DJ Uiagelelei on Sunday to Clemson.

The Ducks have been actively recruiting Liberty (Calif.) quarterback Jay Butterfield along with their efforts of Uiagelelei. Instead of waiting to get active in May, Oregon has been recruiting Butterfield as hard as any other program along with putting the press on Uiagelelei.

At 6-foot-6, 200-pounds, Butterfield is the No. 78 ranked player nationally and No. 4 ranked pro-style passer in the 247Sports Composite.

Arizona State, Washington State and Cal were a couple of others pushing for Butterfield prior to his commitment to Oregon.

Oregon will consider signing a second quarterback despite his commitment. Although it is not a certainty the Ducks will take a second QB in the 2020 class.
