Four-Star WR Gatlin Bair Sets Commitment Date

Oregon Duck Washingtonby: Justin Hopkins07/20/23

One of the top-ranked offensive weapons in the 2024 class is ready to make his college decision. On August 5 speedster Gatlin Bair will announce his commitment.

The 6-foot-2, 180-pounder is the No. 39 ranked player in the On3 Industry Rankings. Bair is the No. 11 ranked wide receiver nationally.

Back in April Bair announced a top five consisting of: Oregon, Nebraska, Michigan, Boise State and TCU.

Currently Michigan leads the On3 RPM by a wide margin. The Wolverines sit at 72% chance to land the four-star burner.

Back in June Bair took official visits to TCU, Oregon and Michigan in that order.

Following his visit to Oregon here is what the four-star had to say about the Ducks with ScoopDuck’s Sean Nelson.

“I was with Luke Moga and Dillon Gresham, just to name a few,” he said. “It was really good to get to talk to them about their recruiting experience. 

“The pitch was that I’m different and would expand their team. They think I could help them in different ways than anyone else and would be able to really impact the game.”

On3 Scouting Report:

One of the top overall athletes in the 2024 cycle who is the nation’s fastest football prospect on the track. Has unverified size, listed at around 6-foot-2, 180 pounds. Looks like the nation’s fastest football prospect during his junior track season. Consistently ran scintillating times. Won the state title in the 100 and 200 meters with remarkable 10.15 second and 20.56 second marks. Transfers that top end speed to the grid iron. Shows the ability to blow by corners as a deep threat on vertical routes. Also flashes speed after the catch with the ball in his hands. Eliminates angles and beats defenders to the edge. Also a dangerous return man. Works on the outside and over the middle of the field. Can track the ball over his shoulder. Finished his junior season with 73 catches for 1,073 yards and 18 touchdowns. Shows the considerable twitch and bounce on the basketball court where his above-the-rim athleticism shows on alley oops and dunks in transition.Can improve his fluidity and polish as a route-runner as well as his comfort as a pass catcher. Averaged 14.7 yards per catch, which is on the low end among blue-chip receivers and top draft picks, especially considering his weaker than average competition. Reportedly plans to take an LDS mission following high school, postponing his college enrollment for two years.
