One of this 2025 cycle’s most divisive recruits has been Na’eem Offord. Offord switched his pledge from Ohio State to Oregon during a three-team competition for the five-star cornerback that increased in intensity as the Early Signing Period approached. At Birmingham (Ala.) AW Parker High School on Wednesday, the No. 20 overall player in the Rivals250 signed a contract with the Ducks.
Offord told Rivals that Dan Lanning and the Ducks’ staff had been pushing him well into his senior year. “Oregon — they have been recruiting me since they offered me,” he said. Since they made me an offer, they have been hiring me. I simply consider myself fortunate and do not take anything for granted.
The five-star cornerback has visited Oregon on multiple times, including this summer and when the Ducks returned to Eugene for their historic early-season victory over the Buckeyes.
Despite committing out of state to the Buckeyes in January, Offord has persisted in exploring both Auburn and Oregon to the fullest. Offord stated, “They are making it difficult for me,” in reference to the Ducks.
Offord stated, “They are making it difficult for me,” in reference to the Ducks. “They want me because I am a top-10 man,” he added. “Who would not want to simply watch the game and take in the experience while I am still in high school? These are going to be really amazing games. This is your one chance.
