Ducks land four-star Florida playmaker

Oregon landed the 17th member of their class of 2017 on Tuesday when four-star Cocoa (Fla.) ATH Bruce Judson announced is decision.

"I will be furthering my education and career at the University of Oregon," he live streamed on Periscope. "Go Ducks."

Judson originally committed to University of South Florida, when their program was being run by new Oregon Head Coach Willie Taggart. Earlier Tuesday he opened his recruitment back up.

After taking official visits to Oregon State and Oregon in successive weekends, the No. 24-rated ATH in the nation was down to those two schools.

In the end, it was the allure of playing offense for the coach he originally committed to that sold the 5-foot-9, 185-pound playmaker on the Ducks.

“I love the way he (Coach Taggart) runs the spread and the hurry up,” Judson told Duck Sports Authority prior to his commitment. “The way he gets mismatches. I love how he calls the plays. So he is going to get the ball in playmakers’ hands. I want to be like Charles Nelson is that plays there right now. I want to play my freshman year.”

The exact role Judson will play at Oregon is uncertain. He could play slot, running back and of course special teams. Who knows what he could do in the defensive backfield but it is unlikely that is where he will begin his Duck career.

Securing the commitment from Judson marks the eighth since Taggart took over the Duck reins, the fourth from the State of Florida.
