Oregon Ducks 5-star Will Mencl puts recruiting press on blue-chip WRs

· Yahoo Sports

A well-known thing in the college football recruiting world is that if you can get your quarterback on board early in the cycle, the rest of the class gets easier to put together. Why? Because skill-position players and linemen often like to know who they're going to be catching passes from or blocking for before they make these life-changing decisions.

For prospective Oregon Ducks in the 2027 class, that should be an enticing prospect.

The Ducks landed 5-star QB Will Mencl earlier this spring, the No. 1-ranked QB in the class, according to Rivals. This week, Mencl is down showcasing his talents at the Elite 11 camp, where the top passers in the nation are set to throw.

Mencl got a chance to talk to the media before the camp got underway, and he put out quite the recruiting pitch for some top-ranked WRs that Oregon is after.

"We want Dakota Guerrant, we want Xavier Sabb, we want Blake Wong, we want Bode Sparrow," Mencl said. "In the 2028 class, we really want Braylon Clark - just to name a few. I feel really good about Xavier Sabb, Dakota. We're pushing."

The Ducks have long been considered the leader for Guerrant, the No. 15 player in the class, per 247Sports. They have also made some big moves with Sabb, who is rated as the No. 31 player in the class. The Ducks currently have the No. 12 class in the 2027 cycle, but are hosting a long list of major official visitors this weekend, and will continue to make moves over the coming weeks and months.

At this point, the expectation is that Oregon signs a top-five class once again this year.
