Where Every Oregon Football Transfer Departure Landed

The Oregon Ducks have seen 30 players enter the transfer portal and some of those athletes are going to programs within the Big Ten Conference and many are going to play for former Oregon coaches. With 15 incoming players to Eugene via the portal, the Ducks' 2026 transfer portal class currently ranks No. 29 in the nation.

The Ducks did not lose or gain a 5-star in the portal. Oregon added five 4-stars and lost three 4-stars. When it comes to 3-star players, Oregon added 10 and lost 27.

There is only one player departing from Oregon that has yet to find a new program: wide receiver Darrian Anderson.

Notably, four Oregon players transferred to play for Cal and former Ducks defensive coordinator (now head coach) Tosh Lupoi: defensive lineman Jericho Johnson, safety Kingston Lopa, linebacker Kamar Mothudi and receiver Cooper Perry.

Former Oregon quarterbacks Austin Novosad and Bryson Beaver found new homes. Novosad is transferring to Bowling Green while Beaver is headed to the SEC to play for the Georgia Bulldogs and coach Kirby Smart.

Beaver’s decision to play his college career elsewhere comes after starting Oregon quarterback Dante Moore’s announcement to return to Eugene for the 2026 season instead of the NFL.

Big Ten Transfer Portal Classes Ranked

The Big Ten Conference is not exactly dominating the transfer portal class team rankings on On3. Indiana leads the way with the No. 1 ranked transfer class, as the Hoosiers look to defend their National Championship

Next highest from the Big Ten is UCLA at No. 11, then Wisconsin at No. 16, then Purdue at No. 23 and Oregon at No. 22.

Oregon's 2025 transfer portal class ranked No. 4 in the country.

The Ducks lost significant depth along the defensive line in the transfer portal, with seven players departing.

This is bittersweet news as one key reason for the exodus could be the return of several starters who decided to forgo the 2026 NFL Draft, including outside linebacker Matayo Uiagalelei and defensive tackle A’mauri Washington, who both announced they are coming back for another season. Defensive tackle Bear Alexander and outside linebacker Teitum Tuioti also confirmed their return, leaving many backup defensive linemen seeking opportunities elsewhere.

Two notable transfer additions are Koi Perich, safety from Minnesota, and Dylan Raiola, quarterback from Nebraska. Perich has a chance to follow in Dillon Thieneman's footsteps. Thieneman was last year’s top-ranked safety in the transfer portal and has now declared for the 2026 NFL Draft.

Raiola is a in a prime situation as well, even with Moore returning. One of the most high-profile transfers available in the portal, Raiola could use a redshirt season and represents a clear succession plan, developing behind Moore before eventually taking over in Eugene.
