The Oregon Ducks didn’t have a long list of needs to fill in the spring transfer portal window, but they certainly landed one of the most impactful players available, landing a commitment from former Michigan State Spartans DL Derrick Harmon.
In the initial transfer window, Harmon entered the portal and searched for a new team, finally paying a visit to Oregon before deciding to return to East Lansing with Jonathan Smith. After a few months of the offseason, however, Harmon entered the portal again and decided to fly west to Eugene.
In two full seasons and one redshirt freshman year at Michigan State, Harmon played in 25 games as a Spartan, playing 979 defensive snaps. For his career, Harmon recorded 71 total tackles, 6.5 TFLs, 3.5 sacks and forced one fumble. 247Sports rates him as a 4-star transfer and the No. 1 defenseman in the portal.
While the Ducks have had incredible success in the gate this year, one area they could address this spring was the interior defensive line, where youth and unknown depth prevailed. Now they have an established starter who could have a huge immediate impact at Oregon
