5-Star Recruit Reveals Official Visits to Oregon Ducks, Ohio State, SEC Powerhouses

Royal spoke to On3 about what he's looking for in his recruitment:

“Relationships, offensive-style, brotherhood, academics, NIL, no order," Royal told On3.

The Ducks are used to players like Royal wanting good relationships, and having their play style fit into their system which could likely be a deciding factor outside of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals that can lure players into programs they may not have had on their mind

Who Else is Recruiting Royal?

Standing in the way of Oregon is wide variety of power 4 schools predominantly out east. Royal holds offers from a variety of schools the ACC, SEC, but few from the Big Ten.

But the month of November is the busiest for Royal. He will visit No. 1 Texas, No. 4 Clemson, No. 7 Oregon, and lastly unranked Vanderbilt.
