Oregon Ducks: Transfer Portal & Coaching Changes

Oregon Ducks Offseason: Key Decisions and Transfer Portal Visits
The Oregon Ducks 2025 season ended on a disappointing note, but head coach Dan Lanning and his staff are already hard at work in the 2026 offseason. The team is hosting transfer portal visitors this weekend to bolster the roster for the next season. With no national championship game to prepare for, the focus is on the transfer portal, staff evaluations, and setting up for a strong return.
The biggest question looming is which veterans will enter the NFL draft and which will stay. Defensive tackle Bear Alexander and Iapani Laloulu have already committed to returning, but quarterback Dante Moores decision could significantly impact the teams prospects. If Moore returns, Oregon could be a top national title contender. Other key players like Kenyon Sadiq, AMauri Washington, Matayo Uiagalelei, Teitum Tuioti, and Dillon Theineman also have crucial decisions to make.
Fans are eagerly anticipating how these moves will affect the roster, particularly with the transfer push gaining momentum. While Oregon doesnt have any glaring needs, depending on Moore and Theinemans decisions, they might target a quarterback, safety, middle linebacker, tackle, backup running back, cornerback, or wide receiver. High-profile players are already on campus, and commitments could be announced in the coming days.
In addition, former coordinators Will Stein and Tosh Lupoi have moved on to Kentucky and California, respectively, and some reserve Ducks might follow them. Oregon has not yet officially named replacements, but reports suggest Chris Hampton will step up as defensive coordinator and Drew Mehringer as offensive coordinator.
With the Big Tens 2026 schedule still not released and talk of potentially hiring more veteran coaches after recent playoff blowouts, the next few weeks promise to be filled with news. The Ducks are just getting started on reloading for another run.
