Oregon offensive line coach Steve Greatwood appears to have landed his third verbal commit along the offensive line for the 2013 recruiting class.

DuckTerritory has confirmed with sources the report late Tuesday night from PhillyBurbs.com that Medford (N.J.) Shawnee offensive lineman Jake Pisarcik has verbally committed to the University of Oregon.

Unranked in the 247Sports database, Pisarcik is the Ducks' 12th verbal commitment for their 2013 recruiting class and the third offensive line commit, joining highly-touted in-state prospects Evan Voeller and Doug Brenner.

According to Phillyburbs.com, Pisarcik transitioned from tight end to offensive tackle as senior this season, earning Burlington County first-team offense honors. Pisarcik is also the son of former NFL quarterback Joe Pisarcik, who played for both the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles from 1977-1984.

"This all happened so fast," Shawnee coach Tim Gushue told the website. "[Oregon] expressed interest in him last week. When they liked what they saw, they came here and met him in person. They really liked him."

Stay with 247Sports and DuckTerritory as more information is gathered on this developing story.

Quack! I have a hard time judging PSA lineman, because it is so hard to judge the size and quality of the opposition. Having said that I like the look of this kid. The fact that he played TE until his senior season may explain his lack of rating. It also suggests that the kid must have decent wheels. Chalk up another Duck with strong bloodlines! Amazing how our couches find these guys. Hope he is a diamond in the rough!

Reminds me of unger. Unknown,very low star, same stats out of high school. Watched his film and just like what greatwood said to a friend when he was walking around w/max on his official, "this kid has a mean streak on the field".

Glad we got another commit! Have to say it is a little funny though how this recruitment seems to have gone compared to many others. Most highly regarded recruits talk about how Oregon does things differently: talks to coaches, teachers, background checks, etc and move slowly before making an offer and then they have to visit before their commitment is accepted. Now this kid comes out of nowhere and the whole process appears to take a week and a half! Hope he develops into a great duck.

Could be a result of finding out Long isn't coming back.

Not likely. This kid will probably not see the field much before 2015, before which time Long would be "long gone" anyway. Either they really like this kid, or do not have much confidence in landing Hinnant and/or Oser, or both.

Jake Fisher was a TE until his senior year also, IIRC. That kind of mobility in an OL is EXACTLY what our offense requires.

+1 Exactly my thoughts after reading his bio. Greatwood has developed some great OL men over the years. Based upon his athleticism and nasty disposition this kid will surprise on the upside IMO. Go Ducks.

I like his mohawk. That is what an O-Lineman looks like. Would have deducted points if it was a Fohawk.
Nice to see us grabbing a kid in the NE too.

Well 247 guru's have officially ranked him, and apparently they don't like what they see and have him at the 100+ ranked OG with a 77.
edit: So according to them, not a diamond.

He was told by Greatwood to report ready to play guard or center.

I was going to ask if anyone new tackle or guard. He looks like he will have a good time "fighting in an elevator" like Long this year. Does not look to have quite the athleticism as some of our tackles so putting him at guard where he can lock on and mash is awesome.
