One of the Oregon Ducks’ biggest needs going into this transfer portal cycle was getting some help in the secondary, and they made a big move to address that by landing former Kansas State Wildcats’ safety Kobe Savage.
Savage, a two-year starter at Kansas State, is expected to transfer to Oregon, coming in as one of the most coveted secondary players in the 2024 portal cycle thus far. In two seasons, Savage played in 22 games, totaling 115 tackles, 6.5 TFL, and 6 interceptions.
The Ducks hosted Savage on a visit this past week after he entered the portal, and quickly made it know that he was one of their top prospects in the portal.
Savage comes to Oregon with one year of eligibility remaining after spending the start of his college career at the JUCO level.
With players like Evan Williams and Steve Stevens IV leaving Oregon this offseason, and Bryan Addison transferring to UCLA, it’s clear that the Ducks need some help at the safety position. Picking up an experienced and productive player like Savage certainly addresses that.
