Tight end U. has been home to Terrance Ferguson, Kenyon Sadiq and Jacob Breeland, but there was a little concern among Duck fans after Sadiq announced a move to the NFL, followed by the departures of Zach Grace, Roger Saleapaga and Vander Ploog via the Transfer Portal.
The Ducks struck back Saturday morning when Clemson tight end Markus Dixon, 6-4, 265, committed to the program from the portal, a three-star prospect in the class of 2023.
Dixon has good size and a notable catch radius but not extensive playing time. With the Tigers he played 47 snaps in 15 games over three seasons, logging practice time at tight end for the first two, at defensive end last year.
