Former Oregon quarterback Ty Thompson has officially found his next career stop.

Thompson announced via a Twitter post on Friday that he has committed to transfer to Tulane. He has two years of eligibility remaining.

In 17 career games with the Ducks, Thompson was 44-for-66 passing (64%) for 456 yards, six touchdowns, and four interceptions. He also ran for 56 yards on 15 carries

Thompson made seven cameo appearances for the Ducks this season while backing up Bo Nix and produced the best spell of play of his career. He finished the season 24-for-31 (77%) for 297 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception.

During his true freshman season, Thompson lost out on the starting quarterback job to Anthony Brown Jr. The following offseason, Nix transferred into the program and won the quarterback battle during fall camp.

A former 4-star signee, Thompson was the highest-rated quarterback recruit in program history when he committed to Oregon. According to the On3 Industry Ranking, Thompson was the No. 31 overall player and No. 6 quarterback in the 2021 class.

Track transfer portal activity

While the NCAA transfer portal database is private, the On3 Network has streamlined the reporting process tracking player movement.

If you find yourself asking, ‘How can I track transfer portal activity?’ our well-established network of reporters and contacts across college athletics keeps you up to speed in several ways, from articles written about players as they enter and exit the transfer portal or find their new destination, to our social media channels, to the On3 Transfer Portal.

The transfer portal wire provides a real-time feed of player activity, including basic player profile information, transfer portal ranking and original On3 Industry recruiting ranking, as well as NIL valuation (name, image and likeness).

The On3 Transfer Portal Instagram account and Twitter account are excellent resources to stay up to date with the latest moves.
