Plus, there are a lot of great choices for defense front guys in this years draft. Good for all 3 to stay and improve. Was not MU best year.

Luke Moga

Vander Ploog is in the portal.

More great news!

Five star tight end from Penn St is coming in. Welcome aboard Andrew Olesh!

This along with TT and Bear returning should help all 3 improve their draft stock. Besides they all have unfinished business to handle! Hopefully some offensive players choose to return. Go Ducks......

Alex Olesh from Penn State.

This is a thread to announce and consolidate players staying, leaving, and coming in to the Ducks football program.

Dan Lanning actively clears space for transfers and recruits out of high school. He’s not the only one. College football programs are no longer in the business of giving four year scholarships. They cut players for various reasons, but mostly because of lack of improvement. I’m sure DL had some tough conversations with some these transfers telling them they’re not in his future plans. Others went looking for a starting job and rightfully so. Florence, Fields, Laulea and Lopa can start at a lot of places. Purchase might be the only one he may have tried to convince to stay, but with Matayo and Teitum coming back and Nasir Wyatt making big plays Blake may have saw the writing on the wall.

Matayo is also coming back.

On a positive note we just landed a former 5-star TE transfer from Penn State. This is probably why Ploog hit the portal today.

I think this is a good choice for him...he needs to refine his pass rush. https://247sports.com/college/oregon/article/matayo-uiagalelei-staying-in-eugene-oregon-secures-another-defensive-cornerstone-270521613/

Probably why Blake Purchase just hit the portal.

His transfer might have something to do with this.

When Raiola was committed to Georgia, several of the QB gurus on the board hoped that he would flip arguing that he was all arm talent and a statue in the pocket. That pretty much proved to be the case at Nebraska where he avoided having to sit on the bench behind Beck,, another QB in the same mold with even more arm talent. I think the Ducks are far better off with Dante should he choose to return. He should show improvement (if not many rushing yards) in his second year as a starter and that may work out just "ducky".

He seems to be a player in the mold of Tez. Slot receiver with very quick moves. We already have burners in DKM, MacMillan, and Bair when he comes in. Having that ultra-quick slot route runner will be a huge addition.

Blake Purchase's sack of the TT quarterback was a thing of beauty. He won't have to wait long for a new team.

Blake Purchase to enter transfer portal (joining QB Luke Moga on Sunday) OLB Purchase's 352 defensive snaps were 14th for Oregon, 3rd among edge defenders With 16 scholarship and 2 PWO transfers so far Oregon has lost players that saw a combined 879 defensive snaps and 621 offensive snaps, per PFF. There is definitely some error with jersey number misattribution but it's minimal. Oregon at 79 projected scholarship players in 2026 Zach Grace is a backup tight-end, redshirt sophomore, from Kearney, Missouri

I saw this as well. Oregon has done well with WR’s from Alabama G5 schools.

Yeah, I just now saw it on X. He, Blake Purchase and some guy named Grace announced today.
