Oregon's Past Portal Success

Oregon hasn't relied on the portal as much as some teams as they have continuously had top tier recruiting classes. The Ducks have yet to lose a starter in the portal since Lanning took over, as he told Oregon Ducks on SI's Bri Amaranthus earlier this year.
"I'm really proud going into year four as the head coach here, we haven't lost a starter to the transfer portal," Lanning said.
The Ducks also been able to make some key aquisitions in the portal. Most notably, at the quarterback position.
In Lanning's tenure, Oregon's starting quarterbacks have all been from the transfer portal; Bo Nix, Dillon Gabriel, and now Dante Moore. Nix transferred from the Auburn Tigers to Oregon in 2022. He was the quarterback for two seasons in Eugene, leading the Ducks to back to back seasons with double digit wins while being a Heisman trophy finalist in 2023.

After Nix entered the 2024 NFL Draft, the Ducks landed Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Dillon Gabriel in the transfer portal. Gabriel had one year left of college eligibility and made the most of it. In his final year in Eugene, Oregon won the Big Ten championship and Gabriel was named a Heisman trophy finalist.
After Gabriel, Oregon turned to Dante Moore. Moore had transferred to Oregon after his freshman season with the UCLA Bruins in 2023. He sat behind Gabriel in 2024 before getting the starting nod in 2025. Moore has been excellent and has the Ducks as the No. 5 team in the College Football Playoff. He is also flying up NFL Draft boards, with some mock drafts (Field Yates of ESPN) having him as high as the No. 2 overall selection.
