Another Cali QB Commits To Oregon
Posted on 14. Jul, 2011 at 11:05 pm by Braga in Oregon Ducks Football, Recruiting
While some recruits are reportedly playing the waiting game in regards to Oregon’s recruiting situation, some are seizing the lull as an opportunity to join the best team in the Pac-12 two-years-running.
With Rocklin, Calif. and ESPN “The Opening” 7on7 quarterback Jake Rodrigues already in the mix, Oregon added a second signal caller to the fold Thursday with a commitment from Danville, Calif. quarterback Jeff Lockie, according to Chris Courtney of eDuck.
Lockie, from Monte Vista High School, is listed as a pro-style quarterback by those who list those sorts of things, but is very athletic and looks to be a good fit for what Oregon likes to (at the very least show that it can) do athletically at the position.
He runs a 4.68 40-yard dash, according to Scout.com and chose Oregon over an offer from San Diego State. He was recruited by Mark Helfrich, according to Rivals.com

Lockie led the Mustangs to a 8-4 record last year as a junior and said in an interview with Ben Enos of the Silicon Valley Mercury-News that he had his eye on Oregon for a while.
“My brother goes there,” Lockie said. “The relationship with the coaches and the offensive setup was the right fit for me.”
It’s obviously still very early in the recruiting process for 2012 players — hell, the high school season hasn’t even started yet — so take all of Oregon’s commits right now with that grain of salt. The same goes for any team, but especially Oregon with Lylegate looming.
However, Lockie told Enos that the possibility of NCAA sanctions down the road doesn’t matter to him.
“We’re not going to worry about that,” Lockie said. “If that’s the place I want to be, then that’s the place I want to be.”
Lockie threw for 2,449 yards and 26 TDs with just nine INTs last season. He also rushed for 205 yards on 57 carries, scoring six times.
As Brandon Oliver of 247sports.com said earlier today, Oregon already has a very solid base to its 2012 class and now just needs to add the Mambas and — ahem — Seastrunks to put them over the top.
However, don’t hold your breath on any big-name commitments until the NCAA figures out what it wants to do with Oregon. But figure that as long as Chip Kelly is still around, Oregon will end up with another huge class.

What do you wanna bet he’s a 4* by the time it’s all said and done? Chipper seems to have a track record of going after QBs before they explode nationally.

No doubt. The Mercury-News article said he’ll definitely get more offers around when his senior year starts. Chip has an eye for it. And as we saw a ton with last year’s class: tape don’t lie.

Did y’all pay him with the money y’all owe me?

If anyone’s getting that money it’s going to be Balducci or Baylis.

This is ridiculous, Jake lockie sucks, look at his performance vs cal he got yanked half way throughout the game, and the only reason he has high numbers is because his team passes every down! He sucks!

Monte Vista had Michael Sullas rush for 1,289 yards and 12 TDs last season. What the fuck are you blabbering about?

Oh, I see. You’re Marcus Prenot from (you guessed it) California High School. Marcus Prenot who had ten tackles in a 45-3 win over Monte Vista. You guys seemed to be the only ones to do anything against Lockie. Congrats.
