The Alamo Bowl taught every Duck fan the importance of depth at center. The commitment of Joey Capra, the nation’s no. 9 prospect at his position, is a huge win for Cristobal and staff. Better yet, it’s also a loss for Arizona State. Capra committed to the Sun Devils about a month ago, but an offer from his dream school combined with the opportunity to play with his brother Jacob Capra proved too tempting.
The 6’4, 275-pound Californian from Placer High School is a notably stellar student. In fact, Capra turned down offers from Harvard, Princeton and Yale to attend the U of O. He’s on pace to graduate in December, meaning he could possibly enroll early.
