Pinnacle High School (Arizona) tight end and five-star prospect Duce Robinson has a busy weekend planned.

The 6-foot-6, 225-pound jumbo pass-catcher, who is rated the nation's No. 1 tight end, just completed a visit to check out the Oregon Ducks.

"i had a really good time at Oregon," Robinson said.

Next up is Robinson's first trip to Louisville. He will arrive Friday. 

Louisville has been one of the nation's surprise recruiting powers in the 2023 cycle, landing several big-time prospects, including El Campo (Texas) five-star running back Rueben Owens, South Paulding (Georgia) interior offensive lineman Madden Sanker and a key St. John Bosco (California) bluechip quartet - wide receiver DeAndre Moore Jr., cornerback Aaron Williams, quarterback Pierce Clarkson and athlete Jahlil McClain.

Still, Robinson may prove to be an uphill battle.

The elite tight end is rumored to be a heavy USC lean, and rumblings of a possible commitment have been swirling for weeks.

But Oregon and Louisville will clearly get a chance to turn the tide this week.
