Where Oregon Ducks who entered the transfer portal ended up
Whenever a coaching change occurs, players tend to hit the transfer portal as hard as a receiver crossing the middle.
Oregon isn’t any different, though the mass exodus was more of a slow burn across a year, rather than something more immediate like we’ve seen with Deion Sanders at Colorado.
Since the hiring of Dan Lanning, almost half of the roster entered the transfer portal, and most have found nice landing spots for themselves. Some have even stayed in the Pac-12.
But almost as soon as former Ducks transferred out, plenty of players in that same portal were looking to replace them. The line of potential Ducks is as long as those who left Eugene.
Here we look at recent players who were once Ducks and where they happened to find themselves for the 2023 season. Some are still looking for a destination for the next season. Some followed former offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham at Arizona State and some have even gone to UCLA and play for Chip Kelly.
Here are the Ducks to enter the transfer portal in the 2023 cycle, and where they are now:
