Oregon flips 4-star WR Jeremiah McClellan from Ohio State

Saint Louis Christian Brothers Academy four-star wide receiver Jeremiah McClellan has flipped his commitment from Ohio State to Oregon.

He was pledged to the Buckeyes since Aug. 13, but a late push from Dan Lanning and Co. has flipped the elite wideout to the Ducks on Early National Signing Day.

McClellan is the No. 52 overall prospect and No. 13 WR in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 3 player in Missouri.

Oregon had McClellan in Eugene for an official visit in June, as well as an unofficial at the end of September. The Ducks never took the foot off the gas, battled the Buckeyes until the final hours and have now pulled off a flip for one of the best athletes in the 2024 cycle.

McClellan has an On3 NIL Valuation of $155K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Jeremiah McClellan Scouting Summary

“Sturdy, technical receiver with strong hands and some of the best after-catch ability in the cycle. Measured in at around 5-foot-11, 190 pounds with 31-inch arms prior to his senior season. Posts solid speed on the track with a personal best mark of 11.15 seconds in the 100 meters. One of the most reliable receivers in the cycle. Shows strong hands at the catch point. Showed the ability to come down with impressive contested catches on the camp circuit. Can come down with jump balls when matched up against smaller defensive backs.

…Flashes the ability to pick up significant yards after the catch on Friday nights. Has good vision in the open field and uses his compact, powerful build to break tackles. Looks like a high-end tackle breaker. Has the versatility to move all over the formation and make an impact in a variety of ways. Doubles as a short yardage ball-carrier for his high school. Plays with a high effort level and should be a good blocker at the college level. Does not have one overwhelming skill or trait, but is a well-rounded, high-floor receiver prospect.”
