Another much-needed receiver in the Ducks’ 2022 class would have to be Darrius Clemons. He’s one of the guys who I think Dan Lanning should have contacted first when he got hired, especially because he’s a local prospect.

The four-star receiver has been high on Oregon for quite some time and like every other recruit on this list, the Ducks’ chances took a hit with Mario Cristobal’s departure.

Still, Oregon has to have a fighter’s chance here because they are the home-state program and there is a need for his services next season with three key receivers moving on.

Unfortunately for Oregon, however, Clemons took a visit to Michigan on Dec. 10 to check out the Wolverines after they made their first-ever playoff. Jim Harbaugh seemed to have made up some ground here and took advantage of the Oregon coaching change, earning some crystal balls after the visit.

Michigan and Oregon will be anxiously awaiting the No. 131 overall prospect’s decision on Wednesday.
