Oregon Offers Clemson Safety Andrew Mukuba in the Transfer Portal
The transfer portal has only been open for two days and the Ducks are quickly looking for new players to add for the 2024 season.
On Tuesday, Oregon extended an offer to Clemson safety transfer Andrew Mukuba.
"Oregon offered," Mukuba wrote in a Twitter post.
The junior defensive back entered the transfer portal on Tuesday morning and has also landed offers from Arizona State and Ole Miss.
Mukuba played a big role for the Tigers' defense in 2023, starting in all 10 games and finishing the season with 42 total tackles, 2 tackles for loss and 6 pass breakups. He made an impact early on in his college career, earning freshman All-American honors from most major outlets.
As a freshman in 2021 he became the first true freshman defensive back to start for Clemson since 1972. He originally signed with the Tigers as a four-star (0.09278 per 247Sports Composite) recruit in the class of 2021 from Austin (Tex.) LBJ Early College High School.
While playing in his high school football in the Lone Star State he was ranked the No. 167 player nationally, the No. 8 safety and the No. 29 recruit in Texas. He chose Dabo Swinney and the Tigers over competing offers from schools like Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma and LSU among others.
The Ducks are set to lose a number of safeties following the 2023 season. Evan Williams and Steve Stephens IV will exhaust their college eligibility, and veteran Bryan Addison has already entered the transfer portal after only playing in four games.
Tysheem Johnson has one year of eligibility remaining, but aside from him the safeties room is full of youth with players like freshmen Kodi DeCambra and Tyler Turner.
