Oregon Adds Important Transfer Portal Defensive Lineman To Growing Class

The Oregon Ducks' defensive line room has taken a recent hit with multiple losses to the transfer portal. A total of four defensive linemen, along with three edge rushers, entered their names and left coach Dan Lanning's Big Ten Conference program.

Now, on the more positive side, North Carolina Tar Heels sophomore defensive lineman D’Antre Robinson, out of the Atlantic Coast Conference, has decided to commit to the Ducks. He visited Eugene over the weekend.

The 6-4, 315-pound product has 55 tackles (31 assisted, 24 solo), 5.5 tackles for losses, two sacks, and one forced fumble in 19 games played throughout his career. He previously played with the Florida Gators in the SEC before transferring to compete under coach Bill Belichick.

The Orlando, Florida, native has two years of college eligibility left. Oregon defensive line coach Tony Tuitoi now has more size in the trenches, along with Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks junior defensive lineman Jerome Simmons, Oregon State Beavers freshman defensive end Blue Dantzler, and Clemson Tigers redshirt sophomore defensive end Markus Dixon.
