Summary

Josh Christensen, a three-star edge rusher, has announced his commitment to the Oregon Ducks, choosing them over the Washington Huskies. Christensen, who stands at 6-foot-6 and weighs 250 pounds, visited Washington on June 5 and Oregon on June 12. This decision follows official visits to Illinois and Oklahoma. Christensen's commitment leaves Washington with limited options as they pursue defensive line recruits, with only two uncommitted linemen still on their radar after his decision. Washington has already received commitments from four-star defensive tackles Jon Ioane and Tevita Nonu, among others.
