It’s always a big deal when you get the commitment of a blue-chip recruit, but when it comes from the son of an Oregon Ducks legend, it becomes that much more special.
On Saturday afternoon, 4-star athlete Sam Ngata announced his commitment to the Ducks. Ngata is the son of Oregon legend Haloti Ngata, who was recently inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Sam is rated as the No. 274 overall player in the 2027 class and the No. 12 ATH in the nation.

According to 247Sports, Ngata is listed as a linebacker and will likely play somewhere on the defensive side of the ball in college. He stands at 6-foot-3, 215 pounds, and plays at Olympus High School in Salt Lake City, UT.
Haloti Ngata is a Super Bowl champion with the Baltimore Ravens, and was a five-time Pro-Bowler, and two-time First-Team All-Pro during his 13-year NFL career. He was a former first-round pick in the 2006 NFL draft, after being named a consensus All-American and Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year in 2005.
