It was pretty clear Oregon would be going after a tight end in the transfer portal after some misses in the 2025 class. Drew Mehringer didn’t waste any time and got right to work on several targets.

The transfer portal opened up with several big options immediately. But Oregon zeroed in on Louisville tight end Jamari Johnson. The former Inglewood (Calif.) standout was a big Oregon target coming out of high school as part of the 2023 class.

The 6-foot-5, 265-pounder committed to Oregon moments ago.

Last season Johnson recorded 13 catches for 158 yards and 1 touchdown. Those are not eye-popping numbers which might help you understand why Johnson might be looking to transfer. Additionally Oregon was looking for a specific style of tight end to compliment its current roster.

He will now have the chance to compete for snaps along Kenyon Sadiq and Roger Saleapaga among others. But the Ducks have been known to run a lot of 12-personnel.

The Ducks will continue to evaluate other options in the transfer portal at other positions. The window to enter closes on December 28.
