00:00Hopping into wide out, DeCorey is a guy that I love to be able to talk about.

00:05One of the things I think people don't realize when you talk about highly

00:07recruited players, one of the things that makes him so special is he came here

00:11multiple times on Saturday Night Live and was able to go out there and compete.

00:16And he's a guy that didn't have to go out there and run and

00:18he wants to do every single drill and show everybody why he's so talented.

00:22Whether it's playing wide out or even going out there at DB or running the 40,

00:25he's the guy that wants to be involved in that.

00:27And so we're thrilled to have him in our program.

00:30One thing that we've made a priority for us here at Oregon is signing the best

00:34players from the West Coast and certainly the state of Arizona.

00:38So having a guy that's selfless like Cooper Perry is a part of our team.

00:44A guy that's broken records there in the state school records and

00:48had a ton of success, played multiple positions for his team when they were in

00:51need, had an unbelievable season, just great family and really excited about him.

00:55And then our last wide out, Dallas Wilson, our longest committed this class

00:59that had a dream a long time ago that he'd get the opportunity to play at Oregon.

01:03And obviously a tremendous playmaker that we're really,

01:05really excited about, hopping into the tight end.

01:08Vander is a guy that we've evaluated for a really long time.

01:13He's really on our radar and just the way that he came on,

01:16the family that he comes from, the way he grew this past season and

01:19what he does for his team, his position flexibility,

01:22his ability to really dominate the games that he was in,

01:25was a guy that was really appealing for us and

01:27just falling in love with him and excited to have him in our class.

01:30And really hopping into the meet up front, the O-line,

01:33Dmitry, a guy here from the Pacific Northwest, this guy, tremendous size.

01:39You see him in person and you're nervous to talk to him, but

01:41he's the nicest guy you've ever met and on the field he's mean.

01:44And that's exactly what you want in an O-lineman, just really special talent.

01:47We're excited to see him develop.

01:48And then Zaire, this recruiting process was a lot of fun for me.

01:53Obviously on the other side of the country, but

01:54another one of those guys that dreamed of the opportunity to play at Oregon.

01:57Coach Terry did an unbelievable job building a relationship with him early.

02:00And I remember moments throughout his recruitment where Zaire's working out at

02:04midnight in his backyard with a flashlight just so he can continue to work and

02:07improve and get better.

02:09I'm really pleased to be able to have him as part of our team.

02:12Doug is a guy from a storied program at Bishop Gorman, national champion,

02:18competes against the best of the best every day at practice.

02:20And certainly put that on film this year as one of the premier

02:23offensive linemen in the country and thrilled to have him on our team.

02:27As well as Zach, another guy from our footprint

02:31right here in the Pacific Northwest that's absolutely.
