Wide Receiver Options for Oregon Football in the Transfer Portal

The Ducks could find themselves looking for another wide receiver ahead of the 2023 season.
In this story:

The Oregon Ducks wide receiver room is going to look different next season following Traeshon Holden's dismissal from the football program on Wednesday following an arrest.

I wrote about how that affects the team moving forward, and one option is revisiting the transfer portal. The Ducks will likely look to add another tight end from the portal given the shallow depth at the position, so why not look at some receivers in the mean time?

It's worth noting that the transfer portal won't open again until May, at which point most schools will be wrapping up spring football and have a handle on where their roster stands.

Here are some of the wide receiver options Oregon could look at that are still available in the transfer portal.
