Oregon offers Peter Kalambayi

According to ESPN, the Oregon Ducks have extended an offer to middle linebacker Peter Kalambayi. The football and soccer star is the first member of his family to be born on U.S. soil, as the rest of his family was born in Trinidad. The Butler, North Carolina recruit is being recruited heavily on a national scale, and the Ducks are among four teams listed by ESPN to send an offer.

Scout.com (link broken) also reported that the Oklahoma Sooners have sent an offer, in addition to the scholarship offers sent by Oregon, Wake Forest, North Carolina, and Ole Miss.

Peter Kalambayi runs a 4.60 40 and has already visited North Carolina and attended their Junior Day. The Tar Heels, Clemson, and Virginia Tech are viewed as the three frontrunners, but Kalambayi can still change his hand and go to one of the marquee programs in the country- now that they are heavily recruiting the four-star linebacker.

The 6’2″, 230 pound ILB is viewed as one of the top 15 at his position and is also ranked 11th by 247 Sports among recruits in North Carolina. Peter Kalambayi would definitely be a big addition for the Ducks, but they currently are a darkhorse and new candidate in the race. However, never doubt Chip Kelly’s ability to win recruits and keep an eye on Peter Kalambayi  going forward. This kid can play, and teams outside of the ACC are starting to take notice; including the Ducks.
