Thank you Colorado..
I will be entering the transfer portal. pic.twitter.com/VuuTZizuxe— B Rice (@BrendenRice) January 1, 2022
On Saturday afternoon, Colorado Buffaloes’ standout freshman receiver Brenden Rice announced on social media that he would be entering the transfer portal and looking for a new school.
This is notable for the Oregon Ducks, since the 6-foot-2 and former 4-star receiver is now in a position to be recruited once again, and the last time that happened, he was pretty high on the Ducks in the process.
Rice is one of the more talented receivers in the transfer portal, and Oregon fans should remember him well. Earlier this year when the Ducks hosted Colorado, Rice had 5 catches for 102 yards and a touchdown.
Of course, Duck fans should feel pretty good about their talent at the WR position after the Alamo Bowl, but beyond Troy Franklin, Dont’e Thornton, and Kris Huston, there isn’t much depth there. We saw this past season how pivotal it is for you to have players on the roster that you can rely on in case of injuries, and bringing in someone like Rice would be a huge steal for Dan Lanning and his staff.
We will keep an eye on him over the coming weeks, but don’t be shocked if Rice takes a visit to Eugene at some point in the future.
