Where Ducks stand in 2023 transfer portal rankings after Gary Bryant Jr., Nikko Reed pickups
UPDATE: Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks had a big weekend, adding a handful of players to the roster that can be instant contributors in 2023.
On Saturday, the Ducks got commitments from former USC wide receiver Gary Bryant Jr. and Colorado tight end Kaden Ludwick. This led us to release an updated look at the national transfer portal rankings, where Oregon sat at No. 10.
Since then, though, the Ducks also added commitments from East Carolina offensive lineman Nishad Strother, and Colorado cornerback Nikko Reed; a pair of players who will immediately come to Eugene and compete for potential starting spots this fall.
The two additions caused Oregon to jump up once again in the transfer portal rankings, so we wanted to give an updated look at where everything stands.
Original Post: Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks continue to find massive success in the transfer portal, adding another pair of potential contributors over the weekend headlined by former USC Trojans’ wide receiver Gary Bryant Jr.
With the addition of Bryant and former Colorado LB Kaden Ludwick, the Ducks have now added 13 players via the portal, while 32 additional players leave Eugene in search of a new team to play for. It’s not hard to see that the Ducks increased their talent level on the roster this offseason, while Lanning worked hard to get some of his own guys in the room and in his scheme.
There’s a good chance that they add one or two more players this offseason as well.
So at the moment, where do the Ducks rank in terms of the national transfer portal rankings? Here’s a look at the updated standings, per On3:
