INSIGHT

Linebacker Is The Clear Portal Priority

  • Oregon's top portal need is likely linebacker, not quarterback, assuming Dante Moore returns.
  • Veteran transfers like Amari Campbell or Cade Uluave would add experience and tackle production to replace Bryce Betcher.
ADVICE

Add A Veteran Linebacker

  • Consider adding a veteran linebacker to provide leadership and steady production rather than relying solely on unproven youth.
  • Target experienced starters who can immediately replace Bryce Betcher’s role and stabilize the room.
INSIGHT

Offensive Line Could Be Bigger Need Than It Looks

  • Offensive line could emerge as the primary need if Dante Moore returns because Oregon loses key linemen to departure.
  • Internal options exist but true freshman starters are rare and risky despite high recruiting grades.
