The Ducks added another elite piece up front on Saturday.
Author:
4-star offensive lineman
Dave Iuli announced his commitment to the Ducks on Saturday, choosing Oregon over the likes of Washington, USC, Cal, and Oklahoma.
So what are the Ducks getting with this commitment?
At 6-foot 4, 320 pounds Iuli is not lacking in size. But what makes him a uniquely exciting prospect is his ability to pair power with mobility. At the next level, Iuli has the potential to be elite when pulling as a guard and leading a running back through the hole. Plus, once he gets through to the second level he shows the ability to punish opposing linebackers.

On Saturday, the Oregon Ducks football team added another impressive recruit to their rapidly improving 2022 class with the addition of Dave Iuli - a 4-star offensive lineman from Puyallup, Washington.
Iuli is currently listed as 6-foot-5, 315 pounds, and the 247Sports composite has him listed as the No. 3 player from Washington, the No. 10 player at his position, and the No. 195 player nationally.
Mario Cristobal continues to strengthen Oregon’s offensive trenches with the addition of Iuli, the fifth offensive lineman of the 2022 class. Iuli is the second highest rated recruit of the class so far, right behind 5-star offensive tackle Kelvin Banks.
Dave Iuli has committed to Oregon, he tells Ducks Digest.
Iuli chose Oregon over USC, Washington, Cal, and Oklahoma. The 6-foot-4, 324-pound guard attends Puyallup High School, less than 40 miles from Seattle, and plays on both sides of the trenches.
Once the dead period ended, Iuli made official visits to Oregon State, Cal, Oregon, and USC. He told Ducks Digest after his visit that he built a strong bond with Alex Mirabal and Mario Cristobal, as well as the players. I just love the people and the environment the love that I got from a lot of people and the love that I got from a lot of coaches and players, Iuli said. I know I’m going to get that everywhere, but Eugene just felt a little bit different.
