REPORT: Oregon Center Isaac Johnson Enters Transfer Portal

The former four-star recruit in the 2019 class appeared in 14 games in the 2021 season.

Dana Altman foreshadowed an offseason of change in Eugene after the Ducks fell to Texas A&M in the NIT.

The change began to materialize Tuesday as Oregon center Isaac Johnson entered the transfer portal, a move first reported by Verbal Commits.

Johnson came to Eugene in the 2019 class but didn't play his first two years due to a mission. The 7-footer was a four-star prospect from American Fork High School in Utah.

He appeared in 14 games in his lone season playing for Altman, logging a total of 76 minutes, peaking at 12 minutes against Montana on Nov. 29. Johnson came off the bench frequently during the non-conference slate but only appeared in five games once the calendar flipped to 2022.

Johnson's best game as a Duck was against Chaminade at the Maui Invitational in Las Vegas, when he recorded a career-high eight points on a perfect 4-4 shooting in just nine minutes.

Johnson's older brother, Spencer, is a guard for BYU. They faced each other in Portland on Nov. 16 when BYU rolled Oregon 81-49.

Oregon will likely have a good amount of depth in the front court in 2022-23, including Franck Kepnang, Nathan Bittle, N'Faly Dante, and incoming freshman Kel'el Ware.
