Report: Ducks are targeting former Kentucky DL Justin Rogers in transfer portal
The Oregon Ducks are searching for defensive linemen in the transfer portal, and now that bowl season has now passed, more high-profile options are becoming available.
On Tuesday, we reported that former Texas A&M Aggies freshman defensive lineman Anthony Lucas had entered the transfer portal, and he could become a target for the Ducks, who recruited him hard out of high school. Another prominent DL also entered the portal on Tuesday, and a report from 247Sports shows Oregon is definitely working to get him to Eugene.
Former Kentucky Wildcats’ DL Justin Rogers announced he would transfer. According to Steve Wiltfong, there are a number of teams pursuing Rogers, a former four-star recruit, and the Ducks are among them.
We will see in the coming weeks if the Ducks can get Rogers to Eugene for a visit, but with the current need on the defensive line, it would be a big-time get for Dan Lanning and his staff.
