Oregon picked up an early commitment from Norco (Calif.) freshman running back Jaydn Ott.

On Thursday, Ott sent out a tweet that read, ‘I’ll be attending the University of Oregon.’ The running back replied to a follow up question that it only meant he was visiting this weekend, not an actual commitment. Well moments ago, Ott said he has indeed committed to the Ducks.

“I love the family feel here," Ott said while still on campus on an unofficial visit. "The visit was incredible, I had an amazing experience and everyone at Oregon made me feel very welcome. I love the energy from the staff and the campus is absolutely beautiful. Coach Cristoabal is an amazing guy and like the rest of the staff, gave me the experience of my life.

"I also love the education center. The facility is amazing and there is a lot of academic support here to help you succeed. I'm just very grateful right now and excited about this opportunity. It's still early for me so I'm still open to all options but I'm very excited about my decision and hyped that I'm committed."

Ott is a big time talent and already one of the top backs in the state as a freshman. He had a very nice season rushing for 1,096 yards and 14 touchdowns and really came on strong the latter half of the year.

At 5-10, 175 pounds, Ott has a nice combination of short area quickness and the top end speed to run away from a defense. He’s a decisive runner who can get downhill in a hurry and fishiness his runs.

He’s a naturally strong kid who runs with power and rarely goes down on first contact. With three years of development left, Ott should easily be able to carry an additional 20 pounds or so of good weight and we love his upside as a power back with speed.

Oregon signed running back Travis Dye out of Norco as part of the 2018 class
