When the Ducks’ oars get wet, they can’t stop recruiting

The Oregon Ducks and their football program have become an instant favorite to land former quarterback Connor Cook, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Cook is a top-five recruit nationally in his class, according a report by 247Sports.com.

Cook, a 6-foot-5, 210-pounder from the University of Minnesota, is ranked the No. 4 overall prospect in the 2017 class by Rivals.com, and No. 8 overall prospect by 247 Sports.

The Ducks have also added quarterback Zach Maynard from Texas Christian University.

The 6-2, 208-pound Maynard, a two-time All-Big 12 honoree, is rated the No 1 pro-style quarterback in the country by Scout.com and No 3 prospect in Michigan.

The Longhorns are also expected to make a commitment from wide receiver Jake Raulerson, a junior from Florida State.

The two-star wide receiver, a consensus four-star recruit by Rivals, has been rated the fifth-best wide receiver in the 2018 class by Scout and No 5 overall by 247.

The 5-11, 185-pound Raulers father, Kevin, played for Oregon from 2003 to 2017.

Oregon has been active on the recruiting trail recently with former Duck quarterback Connor Webb, a 2017 commit.

The Ducks have a total of eight commitments in the class of 2021, according the Associated Press.
