Blue-chip OL Douglas Utu flips from Tennessee to Oregon

Douglas Utu, a blue-chip offensive lineman in the 2025 class, switched his commitment from Tennessee to Oregon on Thursday.

ESPN ranks Utu as a five-star recruit and the No. 13 overall prospect in the 2025 cycle. The 247Sports composite, which rates him as a four-star, lists him as the No. 2 interior offensive lineman in the class.

Utu is 6-foot-4 and 317 pounds and plays at powerhouse Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas. The school won the Nevada 5A Division I state title after an undefeated season in 2023.

He made official visits to Washington, Michigan, Nebraska and Alabama before visiting Tennessee, where he committed on June 24.

Utu adds to an already impressive class at Oregon, which features commitments from two players ranked as No. 1 at their positions on the composite: wide receiver Dakorien Moore of Duncanville, Texas, and Trey McNutt, a safety from Cleveland.

No. 8 Oregon (3-0) will make its Big Ten debut on Saturday at the home of a longtime Pac-12 foe, UCLA (1-2).
