Defensive linemen are all the rage in the 2024 recruiting cycle. One of several high-end DL recruits to keep an eye on over the next few weeks is Cedar Valley (Utah) four-star Devoux Tuataga.
According to 247Sports, Tuataga has offers from 13 different programs right now. However, Adam Gorney at Rivals reports that Oregon State and BYU appear to be leading his commitment.
“Oregon State is definitely a team to watch in Tuataga’s recruitment, especially after his visit to Corvallis, where he liked the feel of the town and built a great relationship with coach Leggy Suiaunoa. The Beavers and BYU have the edge right now on Eagle Mountain (Utah) standout Cedar Valley, who loved the culture in Provo because he’s LDS. But Oregon and Nebraska are there, too.
However, The On3 prediction model doesn’t see it that way. They have Oregon as the favorite at 42.5%, followed by Tennessee (10%) and Nebraska (8.6%). Oregon State is tied with BYU at 7.1%, along with several other programs.
The latest news is that the Tuataga will be visiting Oregon and Nebraska before the end of the month, so maybe we’ll get a little more clarity on his recruitment after that.
For now, Tuataga (6-foot-6, 240 pounds) is ranked #36 in deep position groupNo. 4 overall in Utah and No. 507 nationally according to the 247Sports composite rankings.
