Most intriguing recruit: Justius Lowe

Losing some talented receivers in the 2022 class after Mario Cristobal’s departure, Oregon needed to find at least one replacement and the Ducks did just that in four-star athlete Justius Lowe.

The No. 14 athlete in the country and second-best recruit from Oregon, according to 247Sports, committed to the Ducks over the likes of Notre Dame, Utah, and Arizona State and he could have an early impact but I think he’s going to be a star in the long run.

Oregon has a really talented receiving corps returning in 2022 with Troy Franklin, Dont’e Thornton, Kris Hutson, Josh Delgado, Isaiah Brevard, and Seven McGee but Lowe looks like a player who could break out after a couple of weeks or if there’s a potential injury.

Lowe is a track star so he has plenty of speed which makes up for his slight frame at 6-1 and 185 pounds. He’s going to be a deep threat and I’d love to see if he can mold into that go-to receiver for the Ducks somewhere down the line.
