Oregon Football - 2026 Transfer Portal

[buckmarkduck]

Seaton is a great player, so not going to say anything other than, yeah, he and his uncle/agent enjoy the love and attention.

I'm going to bang the MLB drum into next season if it doesn't get filled. I'm just baffled as to what our plan is there. Maybe Gavin Nix is that dude.

I'm in the same boat you are. I think if we run our existing offensive line pieces out there, we're probably a top 20 line with a top 10 ceiling.

If we run our existing linebackers out there, I'm not sure where to set the line. Middle-ish of P4? I liked the class of Williams, Platt and Mothudi when they came in, but one has gone and the others have barely played. It will still be a while before they peak.

Yeah, I still don’t understand the logic of not taking at least one proven linebacker in the portal. Even if Platt and Williams end up being good, neither have seen any significant minutes in meaningful games, so it still a roll of the dice to go into the season with them when they’re completely unknowns. Mixon was pretty good last year. Jackson has all the physical abilities, but just seemed to be out of place a lot. It just doesn’t make sense to me to gamble like that with the rest of the roster at national title level (plus an o lineman or 2).

What proven lbs were available. The cal kid was ok, but I don’t believe he was an upgrade for the money he would cost.

There was a good 10 or more in the portal from the start that would have been a benefit.

Every linebacker was available. We're in the golden age of tampering.

Point taken. Were the Duck coaches aware? QB of your defense doesn’t mean much? Kind of stunned to be honest. Kind of a weak room overall this year, doesn’t seem to be any better next.

I enjoy the dichotomy of the fan base complaining when guys transfer, because they don't want to wait to play, while also constantly calling for transfers rather than giving young guys a chance. You would think they've only been recruiting low 3 star guys at LB the past few years. They have 2 seniors returning. Mixon played really well at the end of the year. Obviously, Jackson had his ups and downs, but the talent is certainly there. They've recruited talented guys behind them in Nix, Platt, and Williams. It's not like those guys were scrubs when they recruited them. Perhaps one of them improves with experience and is ready to step up to the plate next year?

It seems to be a constant cycle where people don't want young guys to play, because they lack experience, but then they continually want to bring experience in ahead of them, so that they continue to not gain experience. I bet at least one of those guys steps up next year with more playing time. Like Mixon, they'll improve as they get more experience.

I hope somebody at LB steps up next year. Hopefully that is why the Ducks have stayed stagnant in regards to bringing in a transfer or two, and they welcome new blood. However, Indiana crushed everyone this year with five and six year players. Seems to be the model Du Jour. Outside of a top 50 (or less) HS player, I wouldn’t bother giving them a dime. Get up to the next level and prove it. Why throw money at an unproven commodity? Outside of Mixon and Jackson, whom played any amount of snaps? That is purely betting on youth. Not putting my money there. Jackson and Mixon were serviceable this year, but definitely not game changers at a most import position. Ducks should have gone fishing.

Jordan Seaton has left LSU and is on his way to Oregon. He has not committed to LSU.

The linebacker room was a weak point. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. It was just... average. I think the thought process is that if the guys on the bench can't break in with an average linebacker group, then they may not be ready to step in any time soon, so bringing in some transfers would beef up the talent level a little more.

This, plus the fact that if you’re a team like Oregon, you are expecting and going into every year with a national title on your mind. Going into the year with an unproven room where your starters were just “ok” isn’t necessarily a comforting thought. We could all be proven wrong and the young guys could step up, but in the age of NIL and transfers I’m not sure why you leave it to chance. I’m not saying they need an entire new starting LB core, but at least one, sure fire stud linebacker would be nice. LB is the quarterback of the defense after all.

Unfortunately, whatever the opposite of the golden age is, is what we are in right now for LB. From NFL on down, LB play is way down from what it was 10-20 years ago.

I get Dan has to try but I highly doubt he’s coming to Oregon if he won’t fly out to Eugene.

We should know very soon if Oregon is still an option. It is my understanding that tomorrow (Thurs, Jan 22) is the last day to register for spring term at LSU.

I trust Lanning to sell snow to an Eskimo.

Go get 'em, coach!

He’s been to Oregon multiple times when he was a recruit. He knows what it looks like.
