Oregon named finalist for 4-star OT Jake Hildebrand
The Ducks received some good news as a top contender for four-star Jake Hildebrand from Arizona.
After some tough misses on the recruiting trail recently, the Oregon Ducks need to make a big splash. The Ducks lost four-star offensive tackle Drew Fielder to USC last week , but now the Ducks are in a position to land a commitment from another high-profile offensive lineman. Four-star offensive tackle Jake Hildebrand narrowed his recruitment down to four schools on Wednesday, which included the Ducks.
Amongst Hildebrand's finalists, Oregon joins Utah, Arizona State and Texas A&M. Hildebrand is a star at Basha High School in Chandler, Arizona, which isn't far from Arizona State's campus. Kenny Dillingham, who used to run the Oregon offense as offensive coordinator, has been pursuing the offensive tackle for some time, but the Ducks could swoop in and steal him from the desert with a good final push in his recruitment.

He already has visits set for Arizona State and Utah in June, but the Ducks and Aggies are working on scheduling visits soon. Hildebrand told Rivals exactly why he believes the Ducks could be a good fit for him.
