Dan Lanning and his staff continue to put together one of the biggest recruiting weekends Eugene has ever seen.

While the list was already star-studded, on Sunday night it added another massive visitor.

IMG Academy (Fla.) defensive lineman David Stone posted on social media he will be at Oregon’s Spring game this weekend. Stone is the nation’s No. 10 ranked player and No. 2 ranked defensive lineman in the country.

The 6-foot-4, 278-pounder is one of the top recruits in the country. This will be his first visit to Eugene in 2023. Stone had previously visited Oregon back in November.

Currently Michigan State holds the edge in his recruitment at 44%. Oklahoma is just behind the Spartans at 38%.

Oregon is looking at hosting more than two dozen recruits this weekend. We have a running list of visitors posted here but will continue adding to it as the week progresses.

On3 Scouting Report

Twitched up disruptor along the interior defensive line who has ridiculous short area quickness and burst. Tested extremely well during the summer camp circuit prior to his senior season. Jumped 28 inches in the vertical, ran a 5.00 40-yard dash and ran an impressive 4.41 shuttle. And did all of that at 6-foot-4, nearly 280 pounds with 11-inch hands. Violent off the snap, can split gaps with ease. Shoots his hands quickly and with precision off the line. Excellent hand usage and very slippery as a pass rusher. Makes it tough for offensive linemen to ever get a hand on him. Stout against the run, excellent ability to disengage from blockers. Not looking to stack and shed, wants to get off of blocks immediately. Can convert speed to power, strong bull rusher as well. Can play a bit erratic at times and work himself out of plays. Just needs to play with more discipline and see the field better, but will come with time. High floor prospect who will always be a threat on passing downs. Will become a complete three-down player in no time. Ceiling is through the roof with high first round NFL potential. Transferred to IMG Academy after his first two seasons at Del City HS in Oklahoma.
