Nathaniel Kalepo had an incredible weekend.

The 2019 three-star offensive lineman with tons of potential landed an offer from Oregon after its Saturday Night Live camp and then returned home to receive an offer from Washington.

Two big offers in a short period definitely has the Seattle (Wash.) Rainier Beach standout excited.

The Ducks definitely impressed him and he hinted that they could be a team to watch in his recruitment.

“I love it out there,” Kalepo said. “The coaches, the fans, everything. But what most stood out was how much the coaches cared for the players.”

His offer from Oregon came in a unique way, too.

“So the coaches asked if anybody else wanted to commit and I said, ‘If you guys give me an offer I will,’ then a couple seconds later I got the offer.

“Holding out for a little bit but most definitely stay tuned.”

Those comments were made by the massive 6-foot-6, 305-pound prospect before he landed his latest offer from the Huskies.

Washington is the hometown team and Kalepo said it was his top school growing up. That could play a really big influence as his recruitment moves forward.

“It was my favorite college growing up, because it was my hometown team so it’s just a blessing,” Kalepo said.

“They're definitely in my top three.”

So far, the 2019 offensive lineman has landed offers from BYU, Fresno State, Hawaii, Oregon, Oregon State, UCLA, Utah State, Washington and Washington State.

Kalepo said his early top three is Oregon, Washington and UCLA.
