March 14, 2015

Theo Howard didn’t waste any time following his official visit to Oregon this weekend. The four-star wide receiver, according to Rivals, announced his commitment to the University of Oregon on Sunday via his Twitter account.
Howard chose the Ducks over offers from Arizona, Arizona State, Illinois, Michigan, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Oregon State, Texas A&M, UCLA, USC, Wisconsin and a laundry list full of others.
Howard also becomes Oregon’s fifth commit in its 2016 class. The 5-foot-11 170-pound wideout is coming off a junior season at Westlake High School (California) in which he caught 52 passes for 869 yards and seven touchdowns.
Oregon’s class of 2016 currently ranks 16th in the country by 247 Sports.
