NJDuck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted May 15, 2023 The offensive line isn’t generally thought of as a major area of need for the Oregon Ducks this offseason, but as Dan Lanning has always said, if the opportunity arises for them to increase the talent level on the roster, then they will take it. It appears that they did just that, adding East Carolina transfer Nishad Strother to the roster. Strother announced his commitment on Monday and will take one of the two available scholarships that Lanning and Co. had to work with.

NJDuck Author Moderator No. 2 Share Posted May 15, 2023 5 things to know about Nishad Strother, Oregon's newest OL transfer The transfer portal window is closed for the summer, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t still a major topic of conversation in the world of college football. While players can no longer opt into the portal unless they are a graduate transfer, anyone who is already looking for a new team is free to take visits and ultimately commit. That’s exactly what happened for the Oregon Ducks on Monday, with East Carolina Pirates’ offensive lineman Nishad Strother announcing that he would be transferring to Eugene and joining Dan Lanning, A’lique Terry, and the Ducks. Strother is a three-year player with two years of eligibility that has a load of experience starting for the Pirates. Looking to find out more about Strother? We’ve got you covered.

AnotherOD No. 5 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Should we look at this as there may be some concern about the (projected) health of the kid from Texas? Is that off base? Absolutely excited when he joined the UO and was disappointed to read he mostly was on the shelf (due to injury) this spring. Interesting to see if the staff had maybe 3 rides leaving spring they appear to have gone CB, OG, and WR. Jones, Harper, and Angilau already appeared on paper to be 3 starters for two spots with the 3rd guy being rotational. Looking to a potential 4th guy with the remaining spots? Interesting? Jones maybe though to perhaps be penciled in to play some OT this year? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
