Former Oregon Ducks defensive tackle Sir Mells has announced his commitment to the Utah State Aggies. 

"Fresh prince of Utah," he wrote in a commitment post on social media.

Mells signed with the Ducks as a three-star (0.8596) recruit according to the 247Sports Composite in the 2022 class. He chose Oregon after previously being committed to Washington.

The Orlando native was one of two defensive linemen the Ducks signed that cycle along with Ben Roberts. Transfers Casey Rogers, Taki Taimani and Jordon Riley joined the Ducks as well. 

Mells signed with the Ducks as a three-star (0.8596) recruit according to the 247Sports Composite in the 2022 class. He chose Oregon after previously being committed to Washington.

He spent one season in Eugene and appeared in one game as a true freshman and played four snaps, recording a pass breakup. The 6-foot-3, 315-pound defensive lineman entered the transfer portal on April 27 in the days leading up to the annual spring football game. 

Mells took official visits to Louisiana Tech and Utah State before landing in Logan. He was one of numerous redshirt freshman to enter the transfer portal following Oregon's 2022 season along with cornerback Jalil Tucker, outside linebacker Anthony Jones, linebacker Harrison Taggart and safety Trejon Williams. 

Dan Lanning and the Ducks added multiple high-profile players from the transfer portal to bolster the roster ahead of next season. Former South Carolina edge rusher Jordan Burch headlines the bunch and Oregon's defense also added former Ole Miss defensive back Tysheem Johnson as well as former Iowa linebacker Jestin Jacobs.
