Fong update on Lott
Lucas (Texas) Panther Creek Rivals five-star athlete Jalen Lott committed to Oregon in July. He doubled-down on his pledge to the Ducks after a return visit to Eugene in November.
However, Lott did not sign his letter-of-intent as planned on Wednesday.
A couple sources told Rivals on Thursday morning it was because of contract language. However since then a source said if Oregon was able to flip five-star receiver Chris Henry Jr. from Ohio State, it could potentially alter things with Lott. Rivals insiders are predicting the Ducks to flip Henry.
If the latter is true, I’d keep an eye Texas and USC for the Longhorns legacy recruit as he was a top-of-the-board guy for both. I think more might be happening with Texas right now. Miami tried to push for Lott during the fall. LSU was a finalist too. Would expect them to circle back too if they aren’t already.
Rivals ranks Lott as the nation’s No. 2 athlete and No. 16 prospect overall.
Over the last two seasons Lott has 172 receptions for 2,391 yards and 36 touchdowns.
