Breaking News: Oregon Ducks Secure a Major Transfer Portal Victory! After a rollercoaster of events, the Oregon Ducks have successfully snagged tight end Andrew Olesh! This commitment is a significant win for Coach Dan Lanning and the team.
Last year, the Ducks were in the running to recruit Olesh, a standout player from Southern Lehigh, Pennsylvania. He ultimately chose Penn State. However, after just one season with the Nittany Lions, the 6-foot-5, 230-pound tight end decided to enter the transfer portal. Oregon wasted no time in seizing this opportunity, and now Olesh is heading to Eugene.
But here's where it gets interesting: Olesh didn't record any stats during his freshman year at Penn State. This raises the question: What kind of impact can he really make?
Currently, the Ducks are looking to bolster their tight end position. While Jamari Johnson has confirmed his return, fans are eagerly awaiting news from star player Kenyon Sadiq. Olesh's arrival provides much-needed depth, allowing him to develop further.
Adding to the excitement, Oregon will also welcome five-star tight end Kendre Harrison, who signed as part of the 2026 class. Harrison is already in Eugene and has been participating in team practices.
