Clemson safety Andrew Mukuba has been one of the hottest names in the transfer portal.

Things look like they're moving quickly in his recruitment, and he'll visit the Oregon Ducks in the next week after landing an offer, according to Jason Suchomel of Rivals.

Suchomel also reports that Mukuba will take trip to Oklahoma, Texas and Ole Miss over the next week. 

Mukuba opted to enter the transfer portal after spending three seasons with the Tigers in the ACC. He played in 35 games and recorded, 143 tackles, 1 interception, 17 pass breakups, 4.5 tackles for loss and 1 sack. He was the first true freshman defensive back to start a season-opener at Clemson since 1972.

In 2023 he graded out with a 74.6 defense grade, a 77.1 pass coverage grade and a 64.7 run defense grade according to Pro Football Focus.

Originally from Austin, Texas, he signed with Clemson as a four-star (0.9278 per 247Sports Composite) recruit from LBJ Early College High School, where he was ranked the No. 167 player nationally, the No. 8 safety and the No. 29 recruit in Texas.

He's generated a lot of buzz since entering the transfer portal this week, vaulting to 247's No. 1 safety ranking. 

The Ducks will likely revamp and reload their safety room this offseason, as they're set to lose Bryan Addison (transfer), Steve Stephens IV (graduation) and Evan Williams (graduation). 

Other big names in the transfer portal that fans should keep an eye on include Texas A&M DL Walter Nolen, Oklahoma QB Dillon Gabriel and Mississippi State WR Zavion Thomas.
