It feels like the college football recruiting and transfer portal world took a little break over the holiday season but is back in full force. The current transfer portal window opened on Dec. 5 and will close on Jan. 18, 2023.

That means players in the transfer portal can visit prospective schools (high school recruits can’t at the moment). Though no players have publicly announced they will be in Eugene over the weekend, we know Dan Lanning and his staff are working hard to land a couple of guys before the window closes later this month.

So who might they be pursuing? We have an updated list of names to keep an eye on for the Ducks. We will keep this updated as more players enter the portal, and others end up committing to new teams, whether that be Oregon or another school.

Here’s who to keep an eye on:

Former 5-star CB Jaheim Singletary could be transfer target for Ducks

Collegiate Stats

2022: Redshirt (Played in 2 games)

Transfer Buzz: Singletary is an intriguing option for Oregon in the transfer portal because he plays a position of need for the Ducks, and he has a prior relationship with Dan Lanning. While Lanning was not his primary recruiter at Georgia, Singletary committed to the Bulldogs while Lanning was the defensive coordinator, so there is a connection there.

Story

UGA defender with close ties to Dan Lanning pops up in transfer portal

Collegiate Stats

2022: 15 Games | 5 tackles, 0.5 TFL, 0.5 sacks

2021: 7 Games | 7 tackles, 0.5 TFL

2020: 2 Games | 2 tackles,

Transfer Buzz: Lanning was the primary recruiter for Sherman, who is a former 5-star prospect who was rated as the No. 33 overall player in the 2020 class, and No. 2 OLB per 247Sports. Sherman struggled to find a consistent role with the Bulldogs in his three years but is obviously a talented player with a high upside looking for an opportunity to make a difference.

Safety Evan Williams (Committed to Oregon Ducks)

Story

Ducks predicted to land safety Evan Williams from transfer portal

Collegiate Stats

2022: 10 Games | 69 tackles, 6.0 TFL 1 sack, 4 PBU,

2021: 12 Games | 90 tackles, 4.5 TFL, 3 INTs, 4 PBU, 2 fumble recoveries,

2020: 4 Games | 27 tackles, 0.5 TFL, 2 PBU, 1 FF

2019: 7 Games | 40 tackles, 1 INT, 2 PBU, 1 fumble recovery

Transfer Buzz: I wouldn’t be surprised to see Evan Williams commit to the Ducks in the coming days or weeks. As the younger brother of former safety Bennett Williams, Evan clearly has good intel on the coaching staff and what Oregon is all about. For the Ducks, this would be a huge addition, since the team has a big need to fill at the safety position with Bennett out of eligibility. This is one to watch closely, I think it could end up with a great result for Dan Lanning and Oregon.

Defensive Lineman Jordan Burch (Committed to Oregon Ducks)

Story

5-star DL Jordan Burch from South Carolina enters transfer portal

Collegiate Stats

2022: 13 Games | 60 tackles, 7.5 TFL, 3.5 sacks, 3 PBU, 1 fumble recovery

2021: 11 Games | 26 tackles, 2.5 TFL, 1 sack, 1 INT

2020: 7 Games | 19 tackles, 2.5 TFL. 1 fumble recovery

Transfer Buzz: This is another player generating a lot of buzz in Oregon circles the past few days, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Burch end up in Eugene. Dan Lanning was his primary recruiter with Georgia, and he almost persuaded the former five-star to join him in Athens. Might Lanning be able to once again get Burch to join him, this time in Eugene? We know that defensive line and establishing a pass rush are two major needs for the Ducks, so if they were able to land Burch, it would be one of the biggest wins of the offseason.

Defensive Lineman Anthony Lucas (Committed to USC Trojans)

Story

Texas A&M DL Anthony Lucas could be target for Ducks in transfer portal

Collegiate Stats

2022: 7 Games | 10 tackles, 1 TFL

Transfer Buzz: If you’re looking at available players who fill a need for the Ducks, then Anthony Lucas certainly deserves a mention. The Ducks recruited Lucas hard out of high school before he signed with Texas A&M, but he might reconsider looking at Oregon now that he is in the portal.

Wide Receiver Joshua Cobbs (Committed to Houston Cougars)

Collegiate Stats

2022: 12 Games | 35 catches, 407 yards, 2 TD

2021: 11 Games | 25 catches, 245 yards, 1 TD

Transfer Buzz: I haven’t heard much about Joshua Cobbs when it comes to Oregon, but I think that the Ducks would do well to add an experienced and talented pass-catcher to the roster if they decide that they need more help in that area.

Defensive Lineman Justin Rogers (Committed to Auburn Tigers)

Story

Ducks are targeting former Kentucky DL Justin Rogers in transfer portal

Collegiate Stats

2022: 13 Games | 35 tackles, 1.5 TFL, 0.5 sacks

2021: 8 Games | 17 tackles, 2.5 TFL, 1.5 sacks

2020: 5 Games |  9 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 sack

Transfer Buzz: A report from 247Sports’ Steve Wiltfong indicated a handful of teams are expected to pursue Justin Rogers in the transfer portal, and the Ducks are one of them. We’ve already gone over the need for Oregon on the defensive line, and Rogers is an experienced player from the SEC who could be a big help on defense for the Ducks.

Wide Receiver J.Michael Sturdivant (Committed to UCLA Bruins)

Story

California WR J.Michael Sturdivant to enter the transfer portal

Collegiate Stats

2022: 12 Games | 65 catches, 755 yards, 7 TD

2021: 3 Games | 0 catches

Transfer Buzz: I haven’t heard anything from Oregon circles about Sturdivant in particular, but he is at the very least an interesting name to consider. As the second-leading receiver for the California Golden Bears last season, Sturdivant is a talented pass-catcher who has experience in the Pac-12 and is very familiar with the Ducks.

Wide Receiver Stephon Johnson (Committed to Houston Cougars)

Story

Former Oregon WR commit Stephon Johnson enters transfer portal

Collegiate Stats

2022: 10 Games | 17 catches, 293 yards, 2 TD

Transfer Buzz: Here is where you consider how important prior commitments were, and what a change in coaching staff does to a former commit. After Mario Cristobal left the Ducks last year, Stephon Johnson decommitted from Oregon and signed with Oklahoma State. Now, after a successful freshman season with the Cowboys, Johnson is in the transfer portal. Might he look at the Ducks once again? It’s not crazy to consider.
