The Ducks are tearing up the recruiting trail following Saturday commitments from Michael Van Buren and Xadavien Sims.

Now the coaching staff's attention turns to 2024 San Jacinto (Calif.) wide receiver Dillon Gresham, who's ready to make his college announcement on Monday.

He'll chose from Washington, Arizona and Oregon and discussed why now is the right time. 

"Originally I wanted to do it on Mother's Day," he told Ducks Digest on Saturday. "Unfortunately couldn't with my father and parents, family having to do with work. So I just decided to push it back another week or two. I feel comfortable making the decision early. So I'm just gonna ride with it."

The 6-foot, 175-pound wide receiver spoke about what stands out about each of his finalists. 

On Arizona 

"Definitely what they did last year as far as their offense and T Mac (Tetairoa McMillan) inspired me as far as being a freshman All-American already. It's just proof that they do give their freshmen chances. Just how their offense was fluent last year, it was definitely something to be looked into."

On Washington

"Same deal there as far as me knowing how the offense is rolling and what the receiver room is bringing. Two guys going over 1,000 mark, projected first-round after they're done with college ball. That says it all right there."

On Oregon

"As far as me and the Ducks I feel like with Coach Lanning being the new head coach it's just a new program. It's something also I could see myself growing into with it being new, me coming in freshman year, they'll be going into their second, third year. The new offensive coordinator coming in and how he turned UTSA last year. It's just a cool environment as far as with the players talk so highly of them."

Oregon, Washington and Arizona will all have hats on the table but Gresham added that he wouldn't be surprised if USC and Colorado have a hat as well.

What's he prioritizing in his decision?

"Where I could see myself comfortable," he said. "Where I could see myself living and where I could see myself calling it a second home."

The talented playmaker plans on signing and enrolling early at his school of choice and is working hard in the classroom to make that a reality.

With a decision coming on Monday Gresham shared the latest on official visit plans.

"I do have official plans in June. I haven't got much of them locked in to yet. I do plan on going to officials. At least one in June."

I logged my prediction for Gresham to end up at Oregon.
