Five-Star DL Aydin Breland Announces Final Three

Oregon Duck Washingtonby: Justin Hopkins09/13/23

Oregon has only a few names left on its recruiting board in the 2024 cycle. And there might not be one bigger (literally and figuratively) than Mater Dei (Calif.) defensive lineman Aydin Breland.

Moments ago the five-star recruit named his final three programs. The list consists of: Oregon, Miami and Georgia.

The 6-foot-4, 300-pounder is the No. 26 overall player in the On3 Industry rankings. Breland is the No. 6 ranked defensive lineman and No. 3 player in the state of California.

On3’s Chad Simmons on why Oregon made the cut.

On Oregon: “Oregon was a no-brainer for me to make this list. It has always felt like home. I have been there a lot, I know a lot of people there and they have been recruiting me for a long time. Coach Dan Lanning and Coach Tosh Lupoi makes me feel really welcome up there. Life after football is something I have to consider about Oregon too. Phil Knight is a big part of that and what they can do on and off the field.”

Currently Georgia leads the On3 RPM at 26.7%. Oregon is just behind at 20.1%. Miami sits at 14.4%.

This weekend Breland will take an unofficial visit to Georgia. And he told Simmons a visit to Oregon could also happen before a decision. He has yet to announce a commitment date however.

Oregon has 22 verbal commits in the 2024 class. The Ducks recruiting class ranks as the No. 12 ranked class in the country per On3.
