5-star recruit on Oregon Ducks: 'They definitely got right now'

Oregon is hosted a star-studded visitor list this weekend

The Oregon Ducks are hosting a star-studded collection of recruits this weekend, continuing to build on the positive momentum generated from a Fiesta Bowl victory and stellar early signing period.

While the headliner of the group may be Washington Huskies defensive back Jabbar Muhammad, Oregon will host another elite defensive back.

Our Lady Good Counsel (Maryland) five-star safety Faheem Delane is set to take his first trip to Eugene.

"(I'm) looking forward to seeing what Eugene has to offer," he said. 

The 6-foot-2, 200-pound defensive back is a five-star prospect and is rated the nation's No. 1 safety in the class of 2025.

Delane has an offer sheet to match - with scholarships from Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Miami, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Oregon, Penn State, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M and USC. 

One thing that stands out about the Ducks is the program stability. 

"I like Dan Lanning, and he’s one of the coaches that might actually be there when I’m there," Delane said. "He knows what good defense looks like coming from Georgia and Bama." 

"They definitely got right now." 

It's far too early to say whether that will be enough to keep Delane in Eugene for years to come, but clearly he's intrigued.

Unsurprisingly, that interest is mutual. 

Here's what 247Sports had to say about Delane as a prospect:

"An aggressive back-seven defender that can cover the pass, defend the run, and get home on the blitz. Owns a college-ready frame having measured roughly 6-foot-2.5, 200 pounds summer before junior season. Quick to trigger and tends to play with tons of confidence. Has been utilized primarily as a box safety and a slot corner at the prep level and found plenty of success in both roles. Physical more times than not and always looking to deliver a blow. Serviceable in man-to-man situations and held his own at Under Armour’s Future annual event, producing a pair of takeaways. However, can lose track of wide receivers in the deeper third and lacks the foot speed to recover. Should be viewed as a potential impact player in the secondary for a Power Five program that can do a little bit of everything. Likely to find the most success in a defensive scheme that has him forward-facing and constantly puts him in position to make plays. Has what it takes to get on the field sooner rather than later like his brother, who starred as a freshman at Virginia Tech."
