One top talent Oregon is looking to add to its growing 2025 class is offensive tackle Juan Gaston. 

The 2025 four-star offensive lineman has officially set his commitment date for August 2nd and the Ducks are among Gaston’s top four.  

 Gaston is one of the largest recruits in America. The 6-foot-7, 360-pound athlete has been recruited by numerous programs across the nation. However, Gaston has narrowed down these programs to South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Oregon.
