In the fourth week of the Transfer Portal season a team is looking for insurance, a couple of diamonds covered in dust.
The Ducks may have found one in Simeon Price, a 6-0, 215-pound running back from Pensacola, Florida, who last worked in Deion Sanders' grubby circus in Boulder. Price may be right for the Ducks, who lost reserve running backs Makhi Hughes and Jay Harris in the portal and are short numbers two months ahead of the start of spring practice.
He's a good receiver out of the backfield with some punch behind his pads. In two seasons at Mississippi State in 2022 and 2023 he caught 15 passes for 125 yards, toted the rock 35 times for 153 yards.
