DSA Dozen: Oregon Nos. 7-9

Duck Sports Authority continues its DSA Dozen series as we continue our countdown of the top Class of 2018 prospects in the State of Oregon. Our panel of experts comprised of Scott Reed, A.J. Jacobson and Dale Newton cast their ballots to determine the rankings.

Numbers seven through nine have something in common: They are committed to bitter rival schools, two to the Oregon Ducks and one to the Washington Huskies.

Newton: Oregon commit at linebacker has good size for a prep senior at 6-2, 220, so athletic he played quarterback at Franklin last year.

Jacobson: Met him at the Opening this summer and he is bigger than currently in the database, closer to 6-foo-3, 23o-pounds. Looked like a guy who will play ILB in college. Moves well for his size.

Reed: Were it not for time as a quarterback, Cunningham might have seen more early interest. I have him as the best linebacker in the state. He has good size and will be a very solid LB at the Pac-12 level.

Offers: Oregon commit

Newton: Terrific athlete with good size for a tight end, great hands. A tick slower than Spencer Webb but great competitive instincts. The basketball/football combination is a breeding ground for excellence among tight ends; NFL Pro Bowlers Tony Gonzalez, Jimmy Graham and Antonio Gates all played power forward in college.

Reed: Were it not for his multiple basketball camps, Quitoriano may have seen his stock go higher than it already did. He has a tremendous frame at 6-7 and 245 pounds, very good hands.

Jacobson: Got to see Quitoirano perform at Saturday Night Live at the end of July and was very impressed with his agility and wide receiver-like hands. Ran solid routes for a longer guy and has the lean, wiry frame that can add some weight and still be effective.

Jacobson: Lowe does not have a lot of size but what he has is speed and athleticism. While wide receiver will likely be where he starts his college career, slot or even running back is not out of the question. If recruiting stands as it does now Duck fans will see plenty of Lowe in the future.

Newton: Husky commit and one of the most productive running backs in the state out of that Jesuit football factory. It doesn't seem right that Keanon Lowe's little brother will wear purple and gold, but you'd have to say the Ducks have a more talented receiver class with Thompson, Battle, Lenzy and Harrison in the fold. Lowe doesn't make that rotation.

Reed: In any other year, Lowe might be a top three player in the state. But in a year that Oregon is loaded with more talent than ever before, he is still a very good player. If he were a bit bigger, he might climb the ladder some for me.
