One of the hot topics of the Spring was the depth, or lack thereof at tight end at Oregon. Oregon lost two starting-caliber tight ends to the transfer portal this offseason in Moliki Matavao and Cameron McCormick.

The lack of depth was exaggerated when starter Terrance Ferguson was announced out for the rest of Spring ball about half way through.

Last week Oregon landed Ole Miss transfer tight end Casey Kelly in a bit of a surprise. The move itself wasn’t surprising as the Ducks were clearly in need of help at the position. It would appear Dan Lanning is interested in adding a second transfer at the position however.

The Ducks offered Colorado tight end transfer Seydou Traore on Friday. Traore has become one of the hotter targets in the transfer portal. Illinois, Miami, Arkansas, Western Kentucky, Washington State have all offered recently.

The 6-foot-4, 210-pounder is one of the highest graded returning tight ends in the country per PFF. Ranked second only behind Georgia’s super tight end Brock Bowers.
