Instead of making the jump to the ACC with Stanford and new head coach Kyle Smith, Angel will be helping Oregon navigate their jump to the Big Ten. His decision to transfer comes after he had the best season of his career. He averaged career-highs in points with 13 and rebounds with 4.7 per game, while also shooting career-highs from the field (56.7%) and threes (44%).

As for Stanford, they are still looking to add players through the portal and high school ranks to fill out the first roster of the Smith era.
