Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 3 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Former Ole Miss safety Tysheem Johnson commits to Oregon Ducks Johnson, a two-year starter with the Rebels, was in Eugene for a visit over the weekend. He comes to the Ducks at a major position of need, and is the second safety that the team has added via the portal this offseason. The former Rebel plays more of a nickel safety position, rather than free safety, which is not something that the Ducks have much of on the current roster.

Charles Fischer Administrator No. 5 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Wow! The experience in the secondary is going to be tremendous. Bridges, Manning and the Alabama transfer at corner, the senior Fresno State transfer and now this two-year starter at safety? I guess Miami/Mario wanted him too! 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drake Moderator No. 11 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Very satisfying to pull Tysheem from Miami. Perhaps the conversation went something like this… Staff….Dan, we have arranged transportation for Tysheem Johnson to come to Eugene. The biggest hurdle we have to signing him is that he will be visiting Miami afterwards. Dan…Hold my beer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to never be included in news blurbs. I'm guessing we never will. For players who weren't getting playing time or who transfer much closer to home, the reasons seem pretty obvious. For starters or regular players, I doubt many of the reasons would have a positive spin. Things like: I didn't really like my coaches I didn't really like the system I can get more NIL money at my new school I didn't get enough chances to be a star at my old school I saw some upcoming recruits or transfers who'll probably be taking my playing time While those are legit reasons in a world where every player needs to look out for himself, they probably wouldn't go over real positively with a lot of people. Same thing when we see a trade in the NFL - the coach and GM always say what a great player he was and wish him well on his new team. You never hear, "Well, he was a bad locker room guy, dogged it in practice all the time, and had an attitude problem. Plus we heard rumors of drug use. So we're better off without him." 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're smack dab in the middle of the I-5 corridor in Oregon, so it's not like many, if any, of these players are coming closer to home. And if we're touting their abilities so much, why would they be scared of 17, 18, and 19 year-olds taking their spots? If it's about NIL money, then that's fine by me. I'm not paying those bills, and their time is ticking- they need to perform to make it to the NFL with two years of eligibility left to prove it. When it comes to super seniors, it makes a lot of sense for me to check something new out if you aren't getting drafted. Travis Dye isn't getting drafted, and neither will Cam McCormick- in my opinion. But I don't want those type of guys through the portal. I only want guys that are using the Ducks to get a better path to the NFL. So, getting guys from somewhere like Fresno State makes sense, because we are high profile. Getting guys from South Carolina that have already proven themselves is more confusing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 14 Share Posted January 27, 2023 What Tysheem Johnson's Commitment Means for Oregon Football The Ducks gained a physical defender from the SEC that should help them drastically next season. Coming to Oregon we could expect Johnson to play more of a Nickel-type role, just as he did during his time with Lane Kiffin and the Rebels. One of his best attributes is his ability to defend the run and cover more physical tight ends and running backs out of the backfield. Tight ends became an issue for the Ducks in some areas last season and that's one area Johnson can aid this defense. Watching the tape from last season, you can see the relentlessness he brings as a defender just by flying to the ball. Bringing in 78 total tackles as an SEC defender is not something every player can do and Lanning hit it on the mark when he secured Johnson's commitment.
