The Top Junior College Transfer In The 2019 Recruiting Class has set a date to visit the Oregon Ducks later this month.
Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu is considered the top Offensive Lineman in the country. According to ScoopDuck, he is set to visit Eugene and Oregon Football on June 22nd. While Mario Cristobal has taken over Head Coaching duties, his reach to find the top talent in his wheelhouse remains constant as the Oregon Ducks prepare for the 2018 campaign.
Oregon Football has already shown in the offseason that they are willing to take the gamble to find talent and transfers that will help the program. The Ducks have already signed four for the upcoming season including a big name Wide Receiver in Tabari Hines.
Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu is a 4-Star JUCO Recruit according to 247Sports. They have him listed as a USC Trojans lead with 22 offers including Arizona, Alabama, Arkansas, and Florida State.
Last season, under then Offensive Line Coach Mario Cristobal, Oregon Football protected the Quarterback. Tyrell Crosby led the team on the line and did not allow a sack on Quarterback Justin Herbert all season. Crosby departed and headed into the NFL Draft and is now with the Detroit Lions. Under Cristobal, Offensive Line will always be an area of need, the Ducks would love to have the ability to play with two separate units and have the ability to mix and match at will.
Crosby gave the team a versatile option, and Aumavae-Laulu would give them a similar option along the O-Line. Games are won and lost in the trenches. 2018 is a season of transition for Oregon with Crosby departed. The Ducks have high hopes for several underclassmen that bring experience from last year.
