Oregon rises in On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Ranking following Blake Purchase commitment

Oregon has landed a big commitment from Englewood (Colo.) Cherry Creek four-star EDGE Blake Purchase.

With Purchase’s commitment, the Ducks have jumped up to 11th in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Ranking. Oregon leap over USC and Penn State in the process.

While the Ducks class is headlined by two five-star offensive players — Detroit Martin Luther King five-star quarterback Dante Moore and Palo Alto (Calif.) Menlo-Atherton five-star wide receiver Jurrion Dickey — the Oregon staff and Dan Lanning have also built a strong group of defenders. Five of the nine four-star recruits in the class come on the defensive side of the ball.

Blake Purchase is the top recruit from Colorado

Blake Purchase is the No. 297 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

He is also the No. 1 player from the state of Colorado.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $14.7k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. 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.
