After taking an unofficial visit to the University of Oregon on Friday, four-star wide receiver Alex Ofodile committed to the Ducks on Tuesday.

Officially an Oregon duck!! It's a blessing words can't describe my excitement to join the program. Thanks to all who supported me

Ofodile, a 6-foot-3 wide receiver out of Rock Bridge high school in Columbia, Missouri, is the 12th best wide receiver in the nation, and the No. 1 player in the state of Missouri, according to Rivals. Mihir Bhagat, a sports anchor for KOMO-TV, was the first to report on Ofodile’s commitment.

“It was a great fit,” Ofodile told Bhagat. “They’re in the national championship hunt every year and I think I can get on the field early.”

Ofodile becomes the ninth commitment in the 2015 recruiting class for head coach Mark Helfrich and Oregon, and the fourth in the past week.
