Sunday at 11:01 PM1 day Moderator No. Five star tight end from Penn St is coming in. Welcome aboard Andrew Olesh!
Sunday at 11:58 PM1 day Author Moderator No. This farewell might have something to do with Iverson Hooks, the UAB receiver who is visiting.
Yesterday at 12:06 AM1 day No. Olesh was the #1 TE! He has undoubtedly seen the transformation of Kenyon Sadiq and the emergence of Johnson. A varitable plethora of weapons for whomever will lead this team! DAK, MacMillan, Bair, Olesh, Johnson, Stewart (maybe), possibly the kid from UAB. Wow!
Yesterday at 12:42 AM1 day Author Moderator No. This transfer might be due to Amauri Washington’s latest IG story.
Yesterday at 12:59 AM1 day No. With some of these defensive lines transfers, I have to think we are having some good transfers on the way in that we haven't heard about yet.

Yesterday at 01:30 AM1 day Author Moderator No. This transfer is confusing because he’s so young and we haven’t been bringing in transfer edge rushers. We only have two seniors, a sophomore and an incoming freshman.

Yesterday at 02:38 AM1 day No. As I mentioned earlier, I have a feeling that there will be incoming transfers of good quality that we haven't heard about yet. Players hear things, I think that may be what is preceding some of these.
Yesterday at 02:41 AM1 day Moderator No. The good news is that the front four of a top-notch D-line is returning. The bad news is that a big group of developmental players are transferring out. Sorry to see Purchase and Gray leave as they were showing a lot of promise.

Duckterritory.com breaks down al of Sunday's developments.

10 hours ago10 hr No. transfer portal is open Jan. 2 until Jan. 16, with an extra five-day window (Jan. 20-24) for Indiana and Miami because they are playing in the national championship game on Jan. 19.
10 hours ago10 hr No. James Crepea note after Green...this eveningEven with 14 defensive transfers, plus 3 outgoing seniors and potentially a starting safety to the NFL, Oregon would return 6 of its top 8 tacklers. Also 8 of top 11 and 10 of top 14.
8 hours ago8 hr No. Biggest transfer portal losses in the Lanning era! Many are not all that surprising, namely Novosad and Moga, but this is a LOT of backups lost. Vander Ploog is not that surprising as Oregon got Olesh (sp?) from Penn State. Remember last year Olesh was Oregon's 2nd choice for Tight End and wiffed there and ended on Ploog. Cooper Perry is a little surprising that he is leaving as he got some snaps as a freshman and could build off that but a new receiver class is coming in and I could see the motivation to leave. This is cleaning house for sure... whether by player choice of Lanning's. LOTS of players going away and this will be an interesting reload.
6 hours ago6 hr No. I would not be worried about the D line transfers IF they had some good players coming in...But all those guys are already taken by other teams. Looks like Ducks are messing up in that department. Maybe they are having 'conversations' and some players will enter the portal and sign with Oregon? They are way to thin at DT and noseguard right now. On the other hand, none of the ones leaving have really 'popped' so far. Maybe Lanning is looking for a different kind of body type? This is one area to keep an eye on it. Of course in this modern day, signing doesn't mean a whole lot. It is when a player has blown all the NIL cash on jewelry and cars is when he is really committed, so it seems. When Lanning was getting ready for Indiana, his coordinators were probably not paying much attention to the upcoming game and certainly NOT recruiting for Oregon. While that was going on, the top portal names were getting snatched up by all the other teams. Fixing the holes in the roster this late in the game is where Lanning is going to earn his paycheck. It won't be easy. And getting blown out is not a good look for the quality transfers out there.
1 hour ago1 hr Moderator No. Which Oregon Duck players will be going to the NFL in 2026?Players are making decisions about what to do with their futures.For many, this means deciding between an early declaration for the 2026 NFL draft or a return to school for one more year.The Ducks have a number of players trying to make that decision this year, with several guys possessing Day 1 or Day 2 draft grades, should they choose to jump to the pros. So far, we've already seen a couple of guys announce their intentions to return for another year, while more are bound to make their decisions in the near future.So far, no players with remaining eligibility for the 2026 season have announced that they will forego their final year with the Ducks in order to enter the 2026 NFL draft.Here's a look at what we know so far, and who we are still waiting to hear from over the next few weeks.
