The Oregon Ducks have landed their fifth player out of the transfer portal after Nevada Wolf Pack offensive tackle Isaiah World committed to Oregon. How was Ducks coach Dan Lanning able to land the elite transfer?

Oregon State finished 5-7 in 2024, a transitional year for the Pac-12 Conference. Down to OSU and Washington State as the remaining members, the conference will add Boise State, Fresno State, Colorado State, Gonzaga, San Diego State and Utah State beginning on July 1, 2026; however, Gonzaga does not have a football team.

While Oregon football awaits the winner of Saturday night's high-profile matchup between Ohio State and Tennessee, they are taking some time to survey the transfer portal. The Ducks are emerging as the favorite to add a polarizing and talented defensive tackle who has already played for a couple of brand-name programs.
