Bryce Cottrell commits to Oregon

Published: Monday, October 17, 2011 10:02 AM CDT
It was a big weekend for Oregon football.


On Saturday night, the team reaffirmed its status as the frontrunner in the Pac-12 by defeating Arizona State, 41-27, and on Sunday night, the Ducks reaffirmed their status as one of the elite schools in the country by landing a verbal commitment from Plano West senior defensive end Bryce Cottrell.

"Oregon is a top program," said Mike Hughes, West head coach. "I'm sure Oregon has projected how good Bryce will be in the future and when you see how good he is playing right now, how could you not want him on your team?"

That was apparently the case as Cottrell, who has moved from free safety to linebacker to defensive end in his three varsity seasons at West, also had offers from Arizona, Arizona State, Arkansas, Baylor, Boston College, Colorado, Ole Miss, Purdue, Syracuse, SMU, USC, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest.

Oregon emerged as the victors and Cottrell can sign with the Ducks Feb. 1, 2012.

"They are getting a player with outstanding quickness and range," Hughes said. "Bryce is also so big and so strong; he has learned to go hard on every play and has had his best season ever with us this year."
