DT Derrick Harmon comments on transition from MSU to Oregon

“It’s different up here.”

“It’s different up here.”

That’s what former Michigan State defensive tackle Derrick Harmon had to say about his transition from the Spartans to Oregon when he recently caught up with the media. Harmon transferred to Oregon during the spring transfer portal window, a move that gained national attention because Harmon ranked as one of the top transfers in that window.

Harmon also told reporters he will be playing fewer snaps per game due to the increased depth at Oregon. He expects to play 40 to 45 snaps per game compared to nearly 80 per game while with the Spartans.

Michigan State will face Harmon and the Ducks this season in a Big Ten matchup on Oct. 4.

Colorado and USC have been rumored as the favorites to land Harmon. However, a return to Michigan State could also be in play. Should Harmon return, it would be a big lift for the Spartans’ defense in 2024.
