Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, a highly coveted quarterback from Ewa Beach, Hawaii, has officially committed to the Oregon Ducks for the Class of 2025, solidifying his pledge to the Pac-12 powerhouse after a dramatic recruitment process. Known for his strong arm, athleticism, and dual-threat capabilities, Sagapolutele was previously committed to the University of California, Berkeley, but after re-evaluating his options, he flipped his commitment to Oregon.
The 6’4″, 215-pound QB had offers from some of the nation’s top programs, including Tennessee, LSU, and Alabama. However, the Ducks’ up-tempo offense and the prospect of developing under Oregon’s coaching staff proved to be the deciding factors in his decision. Coach Dan Lanning and offensive coordinator Will Stein made a significant impression on Sagapolutele, highlighting their vision for his growth in the system and their commitment to building a championship contender.
Oregon’s track record of developing quarterbacks, including Heisman contender Bo Nix, likely played a key role in his choice. Sagapolutele’s decision marks a significant win for the Ducks in a highly competitive recruiting battle. His commitment not only strengthens Oregon’s future at quarterback but also sends a message that they are a serious contender on the national recruiting stage.
Sagapolutele’s commitment also reinforces the growing trend of top quarterbacks choosing Oregon as their destination for both development and high-level competition. The Ducks are looking to build on their impressive 2025 recruiting class, with Sagapolutele at the forefront of the future offense.
