Dana Altman and the Oregon Ducks are working to build a roster for the 2025-26 season after their second-round exit in the NCAA Tournament, and their doing so in the transfer portal.
The Ducks already landed a commitment from Texas Longhorns transfer Devon Pryor, a junior forward with two years of eligibility remaining. Now they're looking to add a talented forward from the Northwest — Portland Pilots' sophomore Austin Rapp.
In his freshman season, Rapp started 30 of 31 games for the Pilots, averaging 13.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game. He shot 39.7% from the field, 35.2% from deep, and 81.5% from the free-throw line.
Rapp entered the transfer portal after the season, and this week announced that he is down to five schools, of which the Oregon Ducks are one. The other schools that Rapp is considering are the Michigan Wolverines, Wisconsin Badgers, Iowa Hawkeyes, and Clemson Tigers.

Oregon's roster is in flux right now, with several key pieces still determining whether or not they will return for another season. Most notably, both Jackson Shelstad and Kwame Evans have yet to announce their decisions, but Nate Bittle recently declared for the 2025 NBA Draft while maintaining his eligibility for one more year, should he so choose. Mookie Cook has entered the transfer portal.
