Five-star quarterback Michael Van Buren, a top-20 prospect in 2024, committed to Oregon on Saturday.

Van Buren, from St. Frances Academy (Maryland), is ranked 18th overall in the 2024 class and is the second-best-rated pocket passer in the class behind Georgia commit Dylan Raiola (No. 1 overall).

His April visit to Eugene clinched matters for him as he moved up his commitment date from early July.

"What stood out to me most would probably be just how bought-in everybody is and how together everyone is," Van Buren told ESPN. "The team is very close. Everybody treats everybody like family and the people in the building, they all have great energy and everybody there really wants people to succeed and they're going to do everything they can to make sure that happens."

He would be the highest-ranked quarterback to sign with the Ducks since ESPN began ranking players in 2006 and would be the program's highest-ranked overall recruit to commit to Oregon since linebacker Justin Flowe (No. 10 overall) in 2020.
