ESELU OREGON-BOUND

Moanalua High tight end/defensive lineman Savai'i Eselu said he has accepted a scholarship offer to play at Oregon.

"Oregon was sweet, academically, athletically," he said. "They pulled out all the stops when I came."

The 6-foot-4, 245-pound senior took his recruiting visit two weekends ago. He said he like Oregon's school of business, which offers courses in sports management.

He also had offers from Colorado, Arizona, San Diego State, Washington, Utah, Stanford and New Mexico State.

Oregon wants Eselu to play tight end.
