Transfer Profile: 5 things to know about Oregon’s new safety Tysheem Johnson

Who is Tysheem Johnson? Get to know the former SEC All-Freshman who committed to Oregon on Wednesday.

Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks scored yet another major win in the transfer portal world on Wednesday, landing a commitment from former Ole Miss Rebels safety Tysheem Johnson.

The former 4-star recruit was in Eugene for a visit over the weekend.

In 2022, Johnson had 78 total tackles, and was one of the staples of the Ole Miss defense. He now comes to Eugene as a player who can have an instant impact in the secondary and potentially start going forward.

While there will likely be more players that the Ducks add via the portal this offseason, Johnson should be seen as one of the biggest wins for the Ducks. Here’s a little bit more that you need to know about him going forward.

The Ducks got another big player out of the transfer portal, this time Ole Miss safety Tysheem Johnson.

The Oregon Ducks landed another big-time player out of the transfer portal on Wednesday, getting a commitment from former Ole Miss safety Tysheem Johnson.

Johnson, a two-year starter with the Rebels, was in Eugene for a visit over the weekend. He comes to the Ducks at a major position of need, and is the second safety that the team has added via the portal this offseason.

What makes the addition of Johnson so important is the skill-set that he brings to the roster. The former Rebel plays more of a nickel safety position, rather than free safety, which is not something that the Ducks have much of on the current roster. He will undoubtedly vie for a starting spot this spring and summer in Eugene, and presents some major upside to Dan Lanning’s defense.
