2022 defensive lineman Sir Mells has committed to Oregon.
He announced his decision on Twitter.
The former Washington commit becomes the ninth player in Oregon's 2022 class and the first from the state of Nevada. Playing at Liberty High School in Henderson, Nevada, he was high school teammates with current Oregon tight end Moliki Matavao.
Another relationship, this time within the 2022 recruiting class, could've helped sweeten the deal, as he is good friends with Oregon defensive line commit Gracen Halton. At 6-foot-5, 327 pounds, he will fill a major need along the defensive front at nose tackle.
Mells is the first commit for Oregon since in-person recruiting resumed.
