  "account": "The 2028 recruiting cycle is heating up, with Oregon emerging as a top contender for early leader in the race for four-star offensive tackle Aden Owolabi. The Ducks, alongside USC and Oklahoma, have shown strong interest in the 6-6 lineman from Danville, California, who is ranked No. 52 overall in the 2028 class by 247 Sports. Owolabi, who didn't receive any offers earlier this spring, is now being pursued by Oregon, Texas A&M, and other Big Ten and SEC schools. The Ducks' camp in June and his subsequent offer from Oregon in the same month indicate their early lead in the recruitment. Oregon has a history of attracting top-tier offensive linemen under head coach Derek Mason, and with several young linemen already on the roster, the Ducks may attract more elite talent to Eugene. As of now, Owolabi has not committed to a school, but the Ducks are expected to play a significant role in his recruitment this fall.",
