\"Oregon<\/p>\n

One of the top uncommitted prospects in the 2025 cycle is deciding between the likes of the\u00a0Oregon Ducks, UCLA Bruins, and BYU Cougars on Saturday, Jan. 11 at halftime of the Navy All-American Bowl. Just a year ago, McKay Madsen had zero Division I offers.<\/p>\n

How the recent\u00a0commitments\u00a0of\u00a02025\u00a0four-star linebacker Gavin Nix and four-star linebacker Nasir Wyatt will affect Madsen’s decision is yet to be determined.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat atmosphere was great as always. A little bit colder since the last time I was up there but even better production from the team. The thing that excites me is knowing that Coach Lanning is there to stay. With him there, defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi and linebackers coach Brian Michalowski are there to stay as well, and they are such great dudes.\u201d<\/p>\n

–\u00a0McKay Madsen on his Oregon visit<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The four-star recruit played multiple\u00a0positions\u00a0besides\u00a0linebacker\u00a0throughout his high school career, including\u00a0quarterback, fullback, wide receiver, punt returner. Madsen finished with 1,483 all purpose yards to go along with 19 rushing touchdowns, two receiving touchdowns, and one passing touchdown in his senior season with Clovis North.<\/p>\n

\n

“Madsen is on of the freakier athletes in the \u201925 class… He\u2019s a tough, physical kid. Kind of a throwback player who may not be flashy but is affective on both sides of the ball and we could conceivably see him line up on both sides at the college level as well. Has easy Power 4 potential at both fullback and linebacker and would be fun to watch on special teams as a wedge breaker as well.”<\/p>\n

Coach\u00a0Dan Lanning\u00a0just received word that senior linebacker\u00a0Bryce Boettcher\u00a0will return to the team for one season. He was a walk-on baseball player with Oregon and has played four years of baseball. Since Boettcher only has three years of football under his belt, he can play one more season on the gridiron for the Ducks.<\/p>\n
