According to the Oregonian’s James Crepea, two Ducks have elected to transfer from the program for reasons unknown as of press time.
The two players are Junior Linebacker Keith Simms and Safety Billy Gibson. Simms was a key backup at linebacker that got big time reps on special teams and on defense last season. Gibson was a reserve safety that was headed into his redshirt sophomore season with less than ideal hopes of contributing on defense but was projected to be on special teams. Simms was expected to compete for backup reps at both inside and outside linebacker this season.
