Deluge of transfer portal entries a challenge to Oregon's depth

Dan Lanning may have to change the way the Ducks practice.

While there's been tremendous news today as Matayo Uiagalelei and Teitum Tuioti announced returns for 2026, joining Bear Alexander as A'Mauri Washington hinted at one, a flurry of announcements to enter the portal threatens to eradicate Oregon's depth.

Blake Purchase, Xadavien Sims, Jericho Johnson, Ashton Porter and Cooper Perry all announced plans to enter the Transfer Portal Sunday. That puts the total of outgoing transfers at 23, in line with other top programs as reserve players seek an opportunity to play and get paid, but a challenge to the program's culture and depth.
