Dynamic pass-rusher Matayo Uiagalelei announced his commitment to Oregon on Wednesday.
USC and Ohio State were the other finalists for Uiagalelei.
The 6-foot-5, 265-pound defender is rated as the ninth defensive end and No. 65 overall prospect, according to the ESPN 300.
Uiagalelei is the younger brother of former Clemson quarterback DJ.
"I just had a great comfort level with Oregon," Uiagalelei told Greg Biggins of 247 Sports. "I felt really comfortable with the coaches and a lot of the players on the team and loved my visits every time I was there."
Oregon has been active Wednesday after also securing the commitment of five-star safety Peyton Bowen.
