The first window of the transfer portal has officially closed in college football, and so while we are still bound to see a handful of commitments from players already in the portal over the coming weeks and months, you won’t see any new faces enter the transfer portal until later in the spring.
The next window opens up on May 1, and stays open until May 15, allowing players who have likely completed spring football to evaluate their standing on the current roster and make the decision if they want to find a new home or not.
What the end of this current portal window means is that we have a nice opportunity to take a second and evaluate where each team stands, taking the chance to look at players lost and players gained.
For the Oregon Ducks, a total of 20 players from the roster have entered the transfer portal, while 9 new additions have come in. The Ducks are still over the roster limit, but that won’t become an issue until we get later into the summer.
The Ducks added a number of players who are expected to be instant starters on both offense and defense, overall reworking the roster and bringing the level of talent up. How did they grade out, though, and how does that compare to the other top-ranked teams in the Pac-12?
ESPN recently went through their Way-too-Early Top 25 list and offered transfer portal grades. Let’s see where everyone stands after the window came to a close.
