Aumavae-Laulu

Aumavae-Laulu (6'6/332) was one of the top junior college prospects in his class when he picked Oregon over USC and Ole Miss, and even with the Ducks returning all five starters up front he could make a run at the starting right guard job in the fall. “He had a tremendous spring, and we expect him to be battling for a starting position down the line here,” Oregon HC Mario Cristobal said of Aumavae-Laulu in an interview with Tyson Alger of The Athletic. Beating out Warmack will be difficult however, as he started all 13 games for Oregon in 2018 after transferring in from Alabama.

Aaumavae-Laulu is a massive 6-foot-7, 345-pound tackle prospect, and he ranks as the top junior college player -- regardless of position -- in 247 Sports composite rankings. His top three schools also included USC and Ole Miss, and he had several other high-profile schools trying to procure his services. This is a huge get -- literally and figuratively -- for the Ducks, who are having an exceptional beginning to the 2019 recruiting class. Oregon now ranks as the top class in 247 Sports rankings for Pac-12 schools, and eighth overall.
