Overview
- The Salt Lake City junior announced his pledge during Oregon’s weekend recruiting event, choosing the Ducks over Cal, Michigan and BYU.
- He is the son of Haloti Ngata, a former Oregon All-American who became a five-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion in the NFL.
- Oregon defensive coordinator Chris Hampton and defensive line coach Tony Tuioti visited his high school earlier in the week as part of the push.
- Recruiting services diverge on his evaluation, with 247Sports listing him as a 2027 three-star linebacker and On3 ranking him No. 547 nationally as an athlete, while Rivals labeled him a four-star.
- Ngata is among Oregon’s first 2027 commitments, joining defensive lineman Cameron Pritchett, and he marked the moment by saying, “All glory to God, I’m home.”
