Na’eem Offord has been one of the most polarizing recruits of this 2025 cycle.
After a three-team battle over the five-star cornerback that has only amplified as the Early Signing Period drew closer, Offord has flipped his commitment from Ohio State to Oregon. The No. 20 overall player in the Rivals250 inked with the Ducks during Wednesday’s National Signing Day at Birmingham (Ala.) AW Parker High School.
“Oregon — they have been recruiting me since they offered me,” Offord told Rivals of the push from Dan Lanning and the Ducks’ staff deep into his senior season. “They’ve been recruiting me since they offered me. I’m not taking anything for granted, just being blessed.”
Oregon hosted the five-star cornerback on several occasions, including this summer and a return for the Ducks’ colossal early-season win over those Buckeyes out in Eugene.
Offord has continued to explore both Oregon and Auburn to the fullest extent despite making a January pledge out of state to the Buckeyes.
“They’re making it difficult for me,” Offord said of the Ducks.
“I’m a top-10 guy and they want me,” he continued. “These are gonna be very good games, so who wouldn’t want to just watch the game and enjoy the process while I’m still in high school? You only get one shot at this.”
