Oregon has added another specialist from Nevada.
Keaton Emmett, who averaged 63.3 yards on 48 kickoffs with a 81.25% touchback rate this season, committed to transfer to the Ducks on Tuesday. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
From Lake Oswego, Emmett began his career at Western Oregon. He was 12 of 18 on field goals, with a long of 48 yards, and had 13 touchbacks on 52 kickoffs for the Wolves in 2024.
He fills a void left by Atticus Sappington and Andrew Boyle completing their eligibility.
Emmett is the second transfer to Oregon this offseason, joining former Nevada punter Bailey Ettridge, and his addition gives the Ducks 81 projected scholarship players in 2026.
