Q: What were some highlights from your Oregon visit?

Sumlin: "The highlights were me seeing the weight room and really all of the facilities. All of the facilities were crazy. It was unexplainable really.

Q: Tell me about some of the relationships you've been able to build at Oregon.

Sumlin: "Coach Meat, he's actually the coach that offered me and he's from the L.A. area. We talk all the time. He's coached a lot of my coaches. I have a good relationship with him. Dan Lanning came out to see me in January and that was my first time meeting him. Ever since then we've been having good conversations. The new safeties coach, Coach Hampton, he's a funny guy. I really liked having a conversation with him."
