Duck defensive lineman Treven Ma’ae enters the portal

First it was Keith Brown. Now it’s defensive lineman Traven Ma’ae.

The junior out of Bishop Gorman High School in Nevada played in all 13 games last season and like Brown, was expected to compete for a possible starting job in 2023.

Last season, Ma’ae was credited with 12 tackles, five solo, and a sack. In his 29 games played as a Duck, Ma’ae had 32 tackles, 11 solo, and 2.5 sacks.

The native Hawaiian was a four-star prospect and was the No. 2 player coming out of the state of Nevada when he committed to the Ducks.

At 6-foot-5 and 272 pounds, Ma’ae will be a heavily sought-after transfer and it’s very possible he goes back to Nevada or even Hawai’i to finish out his career.
