Turner was recruited by Arkansas, Auburn, Baylor, Grambling State, Houston, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Rice, SMU, TCU, Texas, Texas Tech, USC, Utah and UTSA.

The transfer portal is open from Dec. 9 to 28. Oregon Ducks players will have to make their decision before the Ducks play in the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day. The second window for entering the transfer portal is not until April.

The three Oregon players who have entered the portal to transfer are: edge rusher Jaxson Jones and offensive lineman Jac’Qawn McRoy.

As far as incoming transfers, Oregon is hosting the No. 1 ranked transfer portal safety in Dillon Thieneman, who is also visiting the Ohio State Buckeyes and coach Ryan Day.

Lanning has shown the ability to land impact players out of the transfer portal, exemplified on the current roster by quarterback Dillon Gabriel, receiver Evan Stewart, defensive backs Jabbar Muhammad, Kobe Savage, Tysheem Johnson as well as defensive linemen Jordan Burch, Jamaree Caldwell, and Derrick Harmon.

Next up, Oregon plays in the Rose Bowl vs. the winner of No. 8 Ohio State vs. No. 9 Tennessee.

The undefeated Ducks earned the No. 1 overall seed in the College Football Playoff and a berth in the Rose Bowl Game on Jan. 1 in Pasadena, California. The 13-0 Ducks clinched a first-round bye in the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff field with their 45-37 win over Penn State in the Big Ten Conference game.

Oregon will have 24 days between the Big Ten title game and the Rose Bowl, an interesting challenge for the 13-0 Ducks.
