Pennsylvania Duck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted January 8 Oregon has landed yet another big transfer portal addition. Kam Alexander has committed to Oregon after officially visiting it this past weekend. The 5-foot-11 cornerback becomes Oregon's seventh verbal commitment in the transfer portal this offseason. Alexander shared his commitment decision on social media on Monday morning, a day after returning home from his visit. The expectation is that Alexander will compete for a starting spot at cornerback this coming season. Currently, Alexander is an unranked transfer portal prospect. He also holds a reported scholarship offer from Washington. Alexander is one of the top Group of 5 cornerbacks in the country and was nationally ranked 45th among all cornerbacks at the FBS level in coverage with a PFF grade of 82.6. That number is five points higher than Oregon's No. 1 cover corner Khyree Jackson this season. Jackson declared for the NFL Draft and is a projected Day 2 or Day 3 pick. Alexander's 81.2 overall PFF grade is also ranked 41st nationally and would have been tops on Oregon's roster among cornerbacks this past season.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 3 Share Posted January 8 Kam Alexander Breaks Down Oregon Commitment On Monday, Oregon picked up a commitment from USTA transfer cornerback Kameryn Alexander. He broke down his decision with Ducks Digest and shared part of his football story. "Because of the people," he said of his decision. "Also the environment is just amazing. Not many people travel to that side, especially travel to Oregon and they don't realize how great of an atmosphere they have. "The coaches are genuine, it's just a place to be. And it's just an all around good situation for me to even consider going there." Assistant wide receivers coach Antonio Parks, who joined the Oregon staff prior to the 2023 season, came over from USTA and played a big role in his recruitment. "With AP, he was the guy who pulled up my film for me to go to UTSA, so the coach could see. So when he got to Oregon, he did the same thing and he wanted me to come to Oregon."

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 6 Share Posted January 8 5 things to know about Oregon's new cornerback Kam Alexander All football teams have depth. But it’s the quality of depth that separates the good teams from the great ones. When Dan Lanning was hired, one of his main objectives at Oregon was to improve the quality of depth on the roster and after two seasons, he has succeeded. His success continues with the Ducks landing former UT-San Antonio corner Kameryn Alexander. He’ll be a graduate senior for Oregon in 2024 and will have just one year of eligibility remaining. Oregon’s defense just got better as Alexander is a cover corner and he’ll help out a young defensive back room with his knowledge and experience. Alexander also brings a bit of talent as well and will fight for a starting spot at one of the corner positions. Here are five things to know about Oregon’s new corner...

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 7 Share Posted January 9 Where CB Kam Alexander stands among the top-rated transfers in Dan Lanning era As the offseason continues to roll on, Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducksc continue to work their magic in the transfer portal and put together a roster for the 2024 season. While much of the roster building has consisted of stars from 2023 announcing that they will return for 2024, the Ducks also picked up a new addition on Monday, with former UTSA cornerback Kam Alexander announcing his transfer to Oregon after an official visit in Eugene over the weekend. Alexander is a sixth-year senior who will come in and compete for a starting spot right away, and could be one of the bigger instant-impact players on the defense. He was one of the top-graded CBs in the nation a year ago, according to Pro Football Focus, and has a high upside in Eugene. So where does he rank among the 28 (non-specialist) Oregon transfers in the Lanning era? There are two ways to look at it. For starters, you can take into account the 247Sports Transfer Portal rankings. However, those rankings don’t always hold true to what we see playing out on the field — for instance, Bo Nix was a 3-star prospect in the portal, who finished his college career as a Heisman Trophy finalist in New York. For good measure, I added my own rankings based on how good each player ended up being in Eugene. With all of that being said, let’s take a look at the best transfers that the Ducks have landed since Lanning has been here, and see where Alexander mixes in...
