Jabril McNeill, nation’s No. 13 outside linebacker, commits to Oregon

The Oregon Ducks football program has assembled the nation’s No. 3 recruiting class

The Ducks added to that impressive haul Monday, as 247Sports four-star outside linebacker Jabril McNeill announced his commitment to Oregon over North Carolina State, as well as offers from Arkansas, Auburn, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Virginia Tech, Washington and West Virginia.

6-foot-4, 225-pound 'backer, out of Raleigh, North Carolina



247Sports national writer Charles Power projects McNeill as a future NFL player:

“Tall defender with a big frame. Has long arms and should easily add weight at the next level. Has tested as a good athlete in multiple settings over the last year. Enjoyed a breakout junior season with a productive year from his linebacker spot. Is a high volume tackler and uses his length and athleticism to corral the ball carrier. Shows a physical edge and embraces contact in take-on situations. Tracks plays sideline to sideline and shows impressive range. Has good play strength and drives through his tackles. Also plays some as a tight end on offense. Is still a little raw from a recognition and instinctual standpoint in addition to finishing plays behind the line of scrimmage. Should continue improving at a steady clip and is young for the class. Could eventually grow into an edge defender. Projects as a multi-year starter at the Power Five level with a considerable ceiling that could result in an early round NFL Draft selection.”

MLB announces 2020 postseason schedule

The best-of-three Wild Card Series, best-of-five Division Series and best-of-seven League Championship Series will each take place without any off-days in between games. Teams will have to decide whether to use the traditional five-man rotation, or utilize four starting pitchers, with the potential for as many as three of them pitching on short rest.

Each series will be preceded by at least one off-day, though more are possible depending on when other series are completed.

The 116th World Series is slated to start with Game 1 on Tuesday, Oct. 20, at Globe Life Field in Arlington. A potential Game 7 is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 28.
