Endyia Rogers knew Oregon was the right choice a couple of days after returning from her visit to Arizona. The decision came down to the two Pac-12 powerhouses after she transferred from USC, and she told Ducks Digest that she was more comfortable with the environment at Oregon. I just felt like it was the best fit for me, said Rogers, who announced her commitment on Sunday. When I left Arizona, I thought about the pros and cons of each program, and after I sat there and thought about it, I was just like yeah, I m going to Oregon.
Ohio State has two experienced starters in
Zach Harrison and
Tyreke Smith, and while it s tough to say that Tuimoloau is a plug-and-play starter out the gate for either of these programs, I think the better fit for the Eastside Catholic product is with Oregon.
Tuimoloau has the athleticism and coverage skills to play Oregon s hybrid defender position whether is something like the STUD we saw under Andy Avalos, or something new with DeRuyter. This would allow Funa to take over Isaac Slade-Matautia s role as a middle linebacker, and you have to think the idea of playing alongside Thibodeaux is a major factor.
