3-star Oregon OL target Alani Noa announces commitment

Though Dan Lanning and the new staff for the Oregon Ducks have done a good job of bringing in some of the top talent in the nation over the past 9 months since taking over in Eugene, there’s one glaring weak spot in the 2023 recruiting class — the offensive line.

Oregon is yet to land an OL in 2023, and they unfortunately missed out on one of their prospects on Tuesday. 3-star OL Alani Noa, a 6-foot-4 player who weighs in a 320 pounds, announced his commitment to the USC Trojans, picking them over the Ducks. Noa ranks as the No. 57 IOL and No. 779 overall player in the 2023 class.

Missing out on Noa certainly won’t tank the Ducks’ recruiting class, it is fair to start feeling concern growing over the lack of offensive linemen. While Oregon has a deep roster at the moment in the position, it’s always good to be continually bringing in more to replenish the depth. We will see how the coming months go, and if Adrian Klemm and Lanning can land some solid blockers.
