Braxton Burmeister, rated a four-star quarterback by 247Sports, has flipped his commitment from Arizona to Oregon.
The La Jolla, California, native did not show up to the Arizona campus with the rest of the early enrollees on Jan. 9. He’s rated the No. 10 dual-threat quarterback by 247Sports.
The 6-foot, 211-pound dual threat signal-caller committed to Arizona last May. But on Jan. 3, rumors of a possible flip arose after a late offer from Oregon.
Burmeister then said that he would either enroll at Oregon or Arizona. The following Sunday, the day before Burmeister was set to enroll at Arizona, no announcement was made. The next day, Burmeister didn’t show up on the Arizona campus.
After several days of waiting, Burmeister committed to Oregon over Arizona on Friday. The other quarterbacks on Oregon’s 2017 roster include Justin Herbert, Terry Wilson, Travis Jonsen and Taylor Alie.

Burmeister is the lone quarterback pledge in the Ducks’ 2017 class.
During his senior year, Burmeister threw for 4,461 yards and 53 touchdowns, averaging 278.8 yards a game while throwing only eight interceptions. He also rushed for 1,470 yards with 27 touchdowns, while rushing for over 100 yards seven times.
Oregon’s new head coach Willie Taggert has been busy as of late, filling up his coaching staff and adding new recruits, such as four-star cornerback Thomas Graham Jr.
Burmeister decided on Oregon over offers from Boston College, Cal, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Oregon State, San Diego State, South Carolina, Utah and Washington.
Here are some highlights from his senior year at La Jolla Country Day:
