How can Dillon Gresham impact the Oregon Ducks?

Dillon Gresham's high school coach Aric Galliano has foretold the impact that he could go on to have for the Oregon Ducks. Speaking with Steve Wiltfong of 247 Sports, Galliano stated:

"He makes me look good. He's very, very competitive. Not afraid of competition. He's one of the best we've had at our place. I've been here 10 years and he's one of the best we've had. Pure athlete, hard worker, great in school, all the things you want in an athlete.

"His speed, he gets to full speed by his second or third step, he's already to his full speed. He's able to get in and out of his breaks on his routes. Good hands. Precise route runner, knows how to read zones and find the hole. His best thing is the deep ball."

Gresham detailed his decision to commit to the Ducks while speaking with On3 Sports, stating:

"Everybody knows Oregon. It's the place to be. I've seen what Oregon is trying to build. The players they're bringing in, it can't be a fluke. It seems like they're ready to go after a national championship. I want to be a part of it. Their brand. You can use Oregon to infinity as far as marketing. That's where it was different between Arizona and Washington. Oregon can be used for, I'd say, a lot more."

Gresham will have the opportunity to continue his rise up the 2024 recruiting rankings with a repeat of his monster junior season.
