Westlake Village (Calif.) Oaks Christian 2021 linebacker Ethan Calvert landed his newest offer this week and it put him at 11 offers after one week of his junior season.
Stanford has had a lot of success at Oaks Christian over the years, and one of Calvert's teammates is committed there, and Calvert said it was a big one for him.
"Yeah this offer is huge," said Calvert. "Stanford is a very special place and definitely will be a top choice. Bryce (Farrell) has always talked good about Stanford to me."
With Calvert in double-digits for offers, he said this offer joins some of the other significant ones.
"I’d say right now Washington, USC, Ohio State, Michigan and LSU are the offers standing out to me," said Calvert. "A lot of the offers, not a lot of kids around here are getting them. Like Ohio State, they didn't offer a lot of guys out here, just me."
With two older brothers in the Pac-12, Bo at UCLA and Josh at Washington, Calvert has been able to watch the recruiting process up close but said neither is pushing him in any direction.
"It's still pretty early in the process but I don't think I'll ever make a decision based on them," said Calvert. "It will be based on me. They've helped me a lot and they text me and give me advice but neither are pushing me in any way."
While UCLA hasn't offered yet, the Bruins stay in touch with him.
"There is a good chance that UCLA offers me soon," said Calvert. "I hope they do. I've been talking a lot with Coach (Don) Pellum and I've visited there a bunch." The Huskies, though, have made him an early priority.
"They offered me after Josh committed and it was Coach Pete (Chris Petersen) who offered me," said Calvert. "I liked him a lot, I think he's a great guy and he cares about his kids. I also talk to Coach (Bob) Gregory pretty often and Coach Bush (Hamdan) too because this is his area."
Calvert played his sophomore season at safety but at 6-3, 225, is now at linebacker for the Lions, filling the hole left when Josh and Zach Charbonnet graduated.
"I think I could still play safety but going forward, I'll see it less and less and I think I'll be focusing more on inside linebacker" said Calvert.
Michigan has Charbonnet now and Calvert said the Wolverines are a factor in his rercuitment.
"I'm going to go check out Michigan in the spring, but whenever Zach comes back, he tells me he likes it but he's not trying to pressure me," said Calvert.
Notre Dame is another Midwest school recruiting Calvert and he thinks an offer could come at some point.
Utah has also offered and while his father played there, he's not getting a push from him.
"Both of my parents are standing back, letting me do what I want to do and trusting me," said Calvert.
Calvert has already been selected to play in the 2021 University of Washington Polynesian Bowl.

He is fucking wow IMO. Watch his stance and footwork as he diagnoses plays. He flows to the play but is under control. Hes light on his feet, in an athletic stance, ready and able to take on blockers or just beat them, and explosive as fuck as a finisher. He looks so much better than what we've been seeing on the field it almost makes me sick.
“ I wanted to clarify things a bit...I am not saying that Washington doesn't have a chance with Calvert. He's a thoughtful kid and he's got a great relationship with the Husky coaches, especially Bob Gregory, but the thinking is that it's a big-time uphill battle for them since he is leaning, at least right now, toward going in his own direction. The older brother went to UCLA and Josh headed to Washington. I have no idea where Calvert is leaning right now, but I know the Huskies, if they were to get him, would have to overcome him wanting to blaze his own path.
It's not impossible for them to reel him in, it's just going to be very tough to get him in the boat.”

There’s an 81% chance Ektard is pulling this out of his ass with no basis

Professor Eklund is likely basing this on having a front row seat to the Ngata brothers' recruitment, and thinking he can extrapolate from that due to his simpleton's tendency towards recency bias.
