Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted May 1 First, the portal window closed last night for players to register to leave. Now, the schools have up to a 48 hour processing period before officially listing them on the portal, so I expect we will see some additional names in the next two days. Once in the portal--they can take their time deciding where to go and sign with. The word on other sites is that Coach Lanning is only after two portal targets among this spring group. The first is Derrick Harmon, the massive 359 pound Nose Tackle who visited Oregon during the winter portal period. Word is, that he is still very interested in Oregon, but is making a few other visits to check the size of the NIL bag. Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 2 Share Posted May 1 The other target is Safety Peyton Woodard from Alabama, who would be a sophomore. He was one of the top safety prospects in the nation, and Oregon recruited him they know each other well. He is from Bellflower HS in California, (John Bosco) and I believe has former teammates on Oregon's squad. He was listed as a "no contact" in the portal, meaning that he will reach out to who he is interested in, or has already decided upon. He is described as a high-character guy, and would provide depth at the position for now with a high upside. 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and unfortunately, Ohio State is not out of the picture. But it comes down to the total package, and Oregon may not have enough NIL budget to afford Harmon. After what I saw of the defensive line in the Spring Game, I am sweating it a lot less. We have some very talented young guns at defensive/nose tackle at Oregon. It is "good-or-good" to me as to whether we sign Harmon. I do not want to scare away great young talent either.... 1 2 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastBayDuckDad Moderator No. 8 Share Posted May 2 A bit of a surprise that Ben Roberts hit the transfer portal. I thought he had a pretty good Spring game. It makes one wonder if there isn't a defensive lineman nose tackle coming in the portal, hopefully Harmon. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
