Earl Thomas/Barry Sanders 2.0, The Chico Role... This thread has everything!
He'll do great at Oregon
Awfully warm for 2021
I’m so glad we got Huard so that it will be tough for Egbuka to turn us down. I haven’t seen someone that cuts full speed and has this good of instincts in awhile. Just get this guy the ball and good things will happen. I wouldn’t mind the Chico role if it was this guy taking a couple fly sweeps, a screen or two, and then typical WR routes.

Steilacoom (Wash.) 2021 five-star athlete Emeka Egbuka had a monster junior season, one that earned him Gatorade Washington State Player of the Year and MaxPreps National Junior of the Year.
Yet, despite all of the awards, coming up short in the 2A state championship game left the five-star with a feeling of dissatisfaction.
"There is a lot of stuff I wish could have gone differently," said Egbuka. "I'm never satisfied with the season I had and I wish I could have had some plays back and some plays I should have made. I especially wanted to get that ring at the end of the season. So I have a lot of things to work on after my junior season. Just getting more knowledge of the game, learning how to run routes and being patient, finishing routine plays I should make."
Still, his season was a big one- he had over 2,200 all-purpose yards, 35 touchdowns and eight interceptions in leading the Sentinels to their first ever spot in the state championship game.
Now, Egbuka is preparing to shift his focus a bit to his own recruitment, a recruitment that saw him trim his list to a top ten in October, which included Alabama, Clemson, LSU, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, Stanford, USC and Washington.
Arizona State and Arizona had both offered Egbuka before and those offers were reaffirmed on Tuesday.
He's considering taking some official visits this spring, but isn't sure where he'll trip.
"I've briefly talked about it with my parents and we're still narrowing down my list for official visits," said Egbuka. "I've had a lot of schools stay in regular contact, Clemson, Washington, Oregon, Ohio State, LSU and Stanford.
Last Saturday, Egbuka was up on Montlake for Washington's Junior Day and it gave him a chance to meet their new offensive coordinator, John Donovan, in addition to spending time with head coach Jimmy Lake and receivers coach Junior Adams.
"I was mainly with Coach Lake and Coach Adams and they were talking just about carrying on the Washington tradition and keeping the in-state players home and building something special on Montlake," said Egbuka. "I met the new OC, John Donovan, I got a chance to meet him at Junior Day and that was good. It was just good to be on campus again and be there with fellow Washington recruits."
The Huskies have already stopped by Steilacoom since the dead period ended and are expected back before it wraps as well as Oklahoma and Oregon coming through.
Egbuka said he's hoping to get down to Oregon for an unofficial, after having last been there for their spring game last year.
It's unlikely that any Pac-12 schools will get officials from him.
"Those schools that are further will get my officials," said Egbuka. "I'm saving my officials for the further schools."
Egbuka visited Clemson, LSU and Alabama last summer and also checked out Stanford and USC in the spring as well as Ohio State and Notre Dame.
Next, he'll determine where and when he'll take those officials.
A five-star in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings, Egbuka is the No. 1 athlete nationally in the 2021 class and is the No. 9 overall prospect nationally in 2021.
