PORTLAND, Ore. -- Pac 10 teams were getting some attention from Portland high school athletes Wednesday in "signing day."
Running back Lache Seastrunk announced he was headed to Oregon by trumpeting a bill-shaped duck call in his high school gym in Temple, Texas.
He made it official Wednesday with a letter of intent to play for the Ducks. The 5-foot-11, 190-pound Seastrunk is one of the highlights the Ducks' recruiting class.
Seastrunk announced his choice last week at Temple High School's gym. He wore a gray Oregon T-shirt and blew on the duck call for a crowd of teammates and students.
At Temple, Seastrunk ran for a school-record 4,217 yards in 32 games. He scored 52 touchdowns and capped his career by running for 305 yards in his season finale.
At David Douglas High in Southeast Portland, Owamagbe Odighuzuwa, considered one of the best defensive ends in the region, announced his decision to attend UCLA in the fall.
Odighuzuwa cited his rapport with the coaches and enthusiasm for the academic programs there.
In Lake Oswego, quarterback Will Storey signed on with the Oregon State University Beavers.
And Ducks fans can also look forward to Keanan Lowe, from Jesuit High joining UO this fall.
Oregon got letters of intent from 20 high school players and three junior college transfers. The class includes nine offensive players, 10 defensive players, two athletes who could play either way and two special-teams players.
In Washington state, the "name" signed in coach Steve Sarkisian's first full signing class at Washington is Nick Montana. The surprise is Sean Parker.
Montana, the son of Hall of Fame passer Joe Montana, committed months ago. He is a quarterback from Westlake Village, Calif.
Parker, from Harbor City, Calif., spurned Southern California and Michigan late to choose the Huskies. He is rated among the country's top half-dozen safeties.
The Huskies were still waiting on at least two national letters of intent as of noon Wednesday, but had signed 28 players on signing day. That's three over the limit for initial enrollees in an academic year.
Washington is enrolling some early to count on last year's class. It may gray-shirt, or enroll late, recently injured safety John Timu from Long Beach, Calif.
