4-Star Athlete Prospect Bryan Addison Commits to Oregon; Decommitted from UCLA

Bryan Addison, a 4-star athlete out of Gardena, California, will play college football in the Pac-12—just not at UCLA like he initially planned. 

On Tuesday, Addison announced he would be taking his talents to Eugene, Oregon, to play for the Oregon Ducks:

He had previously committed to play for the Bruins. However, ESPN's Tom VanHaaren reported an "issue with a standardized test score" was delaying his admittance into UCLA, and he was granted his release from his original commitment.

Addison explained his situation to 247Sports' Greg Biggins:

"I had some issues with the college board and UCLA admissions. I have been fighting this for 5-6 weeks and things were a little slow to get going and time was running out for me. All the other freshmen were already enrolling and it was getting stressful for me.

"It felt like the college board was dragging their feet a little on this and I was starting to worry that if I didn’t get cleared soon, it would be too late for me to go anywhere else. I asked for my full release and it was given to me earlier this week on Monday. I’m basically back to square one and looking at all my options again."

When he reopened his recruiting, the Junipero Serra High School star chose between Oregon, Arizona State, Nebraska and Washington. As he told Biggins, this was going to be a "family decision" and he wanted to be able to feel comfortable wherever he went.

Ultimately, he felt Mario Cristobal and the Ducks gave him the best opportunity to succeed both on and off the field.

Addison can play both receiver and defensive back, but according to his tweet, it appears as though he will be making himself at home in the Ducks' secondary. Here's a highlight reel of his, via MaxPreps:

Before this commitment, Oregon had the No. 16 recruiting class in the class of 2018, per 247Sports.
