Alabama OT and former Oregon target Kadyn Proctor to enter transfer portal
Oregon Duck fans will likely remember Proctor’s name because he was a major recruiting target for the Ducks before choosing the Tide. Proctor was the No. 1 OT in the 2023 class, and the No. 5 overall player. He took multiple visits to Oregon, and was very close to flipping his commitment from Iowa to the Ducks before ultimately choosing Alabama.

Here's What Fisch Has Inherited From Diminished Husky Football Roster
The UW has just 64 players on scholarship, 21 under the limit.
Newly hired Jedd Fisch, no matter what he says at his introductory news conference on Tuesday morning, is facing a rebuild.
By stepping up as the fourth Husky football coach in six revolving-door seasons, Fisch will pay a price for the continuous leadership turnover and prior personnel mistakes made that DeBoer was able to sidestep.
In six weeks time, the Huskies have had nearly four dozen players graduate, enter the portal, ask for scholarship releases or de-commit. While two were future recruits, that still pencils out to a near 40 percent roster rollover, which is going to inflict some pain no matter what's done.
You simply can't find quality replacements for all of these guys at once, especially this late in a recruiting cycle.
With a pair of subpar recruiting classes — and no starters to show for it now — someone will have to pay for it. That will be Fisch initially. Of his 64 inherited players, just 14 have even started a UW game.
No Husky position area currently is well stocked, especially quarterback, where in the past week starter Michael Penix Jr. used up his eligibility, back-up Dylan Morris transferred to James Madison, reclassified freshman Austin Mack entered the transfer portal, Mississippi State transfer Will Rogers re-entered the portal, San Diego State transfer Will Haskell re-entered the portal and 2025 Southern California recruit Jackson Kollock de-committed.
Fisch better get his rest, make sure his phone numbers are up to date and buckle up.

Where does Oregon stand when it comes to transfer portal needs?
The Oregon Ducks have not utilized the transfer portal as abundantly this year as we’ve seen in prior years, but they’ve arguably been more prolific and proficient with their additions, getting commitments from some of the best available players in the portal.
With just 9 incoming transfers so far, Oregon has the No. 4-ranked class in the nation after adding the No. 3, No. 6, No. 18, and No. 53 players in the class with commitments from Evan Stewart, Dante Moore, Ja’Maree Caldwell, and Dillon Gabriel at the top of the list.
Going into the offseason, they had a roster that was stacked with blue-chip players, but there were a handful of needs and potential needs, depending on who decided to return to Eugene for 2024 or head into the NFL Draft. Fortunately for Oregon fans, many of those players have decided to come back for one last ride.
So with the roster in its current construction, are there any other needs that the Ducks need to fill in the transfer portal this year? Let’s take a look back at our needs coming into the offseason and assess:

in Our Beloved Ducks
“Relatively speaking, for as difficult as a schedule could be in the new Big Ten, it’s manageable,” Klatt said. “They get Ohio State and Washington but both of those teams are in Eugene. They do have to go to the Big House and play Michigan, but at least it’s a year when Michigan is at least on paper not primed to make a run to the national championship.”
