Oregon Ducks defensive linemen Xadavien Sims<\/a><\/strong> and Jericho Johnson <\/a><\/strong>are entering the transfer portal, according to On3\u2019s Hayes Fawcett. <\/p>\n

Sims is a redshirt freshman and played in four games across his two seasons in Eugene. He registered two total tackles and played a reserve role for the Ducks. <\/p>\n

The 6-foot-3, 305-pound Sims signed with Oregon as a former 4-star prospect from Durant (Okla.) High School in the 2024 recruiting class. Sims was the No. 245 prospect nationally, the No. 25 defensive lineman and the No. 2 prospect in Oklahoma according to the On3 Industry Ranking. He was also an Adidas All-American selection.<\/p>\n

Johnson is also a redshirt freshman and played in nine games across his two-year career with Oregon. In that time he recorded 5 total tackles and 1 pass break up. He signed with the Ducks as a 4-star prospect from Armijo (Calif.) High School in the 2024 class and like Sims was also an Adidas All-American selection. Johnson was the No. 180 prospect nationally, the No. 16 defensive lineman and No. 15 player in California according to the On3 Industry ranking.<\/p>\n

Oregon has now had four defensive linemen enter the transfer portal on Sunday, as Sims and Johnson join Ashton Porter <\/a><\/strong>and Blake Purchase<\/a><\/strong> in their decisions to continue their college football elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Aydin Breland <\/a><\/strong>and Elijah Rushing<\/a><\/strong> are the only defensive linemen from Oregon\u2019s 2024 recruiting class remaining on the roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oregon Ducks defensive linemen Xadavien Sims and Jericho Johnson are entering the transfer portal, according to On3\u2019s Hayes…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":510413,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[1318,228181,1317,1315,1316,17529,228068,62,67,132,68,228182],"class_list":{"0":"post-510412","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-jericho-johnson-24-armijo","10":"tag-ncaa","11":"tag-ncaa-football","12":"tag-ncaafootball","13":"tag-or","14":"tag-oregon-ducks-eugene","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-us","19":"tag-xadavien-sims-24-durant"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115881148863522466","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=510412"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510412\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/510413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=510412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=510412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=510412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
