5 things to know about new Oregon OL Matthew Bedford

Here are five things to know about the Ducks’ newest lineman, Matthew Bedford, a transfer from Indiana.

Better late than never, I guess.

Former Indiana offensive lineman Matthew Bedford changed his mind and will transfer to Oregon. He had committed to Colorado less than a week ago but will be a Duck instead.

This kind of switch usually occurs with the high school recruits as signing day approaches, but not so much with transfers in the portal. While this is a huge plus for the Ducks, it’s a big blow for the Buffaloes, who are trying to rebuild their offensive line after a disastrous 2023 season.

Bedford and his size of 6-foot-6 and 305 pounds, should be a contender to be a starter for the 2024 season as Oregon heads to the Big Ten next year.
