Five-star wide receiver Xavier Sabb has committed to the Oregon Ducks, closing out a recruitment that drew interest from programs including LSU and UCLA.

The UCLA Bruins did not secure a commitment from Sabb, with the prospect instead signing on with Oregon. LSU was listed as a finalist in his recruitment, though reports indicate the Tigers likely never had a realistic chance of landing him.

LSU Moves On Despite Missing Out

Despite the loss of Sabb to Oregon, LSU is described as continuing to recruit well. The Tigers have found success elsewhere on the trail, most notably landing a commitment flip from Greedy James, who had previously been committed to Texas.

LSU's pursuit of Sabb, even if unlikely to succeed, reflects the program's ambition to compete for elite pass-catching prospects in what remains an active recruiting cycle.

Oregon's addition of Sabb bolsters a receiving corps with one of the highest-rated prospects available in the class, as the Ducks continue to build on their standing as a destination program for top-tier offensive talent.
