Over the weekend Oregon landed a commitment from Washington cornerback Jabbar Muhammad , who will trade in the Husky purple and gold for the Ducks green and yellow in 2024.
Muhammad was on campus in Eugene when he made his decision and broke down his commitment with Ducks Digest .
So why was it Oregon for the 2023 All-Pac-12 cornerback?
“For the last year of my career I just think it’s the best fit for me,” he said. “It’s a stable situation and I get to play with a defensive head coach which I’ve never done before. Just the ins and outs of the scheme is gonna put me in position to make plays.
“Just Oregon. Just knowing what kind of market Oregon had up there. They’re gonna market you. They’re gonna do a good job promoting you and putting you out there. Just putting myself in the position to be drafted next year and just being able to play at the next level.”
Muhammad chose Oregon from a top group that also included Texas and Alabama. While he visited each school, he had a feeling he was going to be Eugene bound based on the relentless effort from the coaching staff.
