While Notre Dame and Indiana played out their first-round College Football Playoff matchup in South Bend on Friday night, Oregon football grabbed its newest portal commitment. Former USC and Georgia defensive lineman Bear Alexander announced his transfer to the Ducks. Listed at 6’3 and 315 pounds, the ex-four star recruit (247Sports) has 36 tackles and 4.5 sacks in three total years between the two schools.
The Ducks boast one of the nation’s strongest defensive lines, but Alexander’s addition will be welcome: All-American defensive tackle Derrick Harmon and edge rusher Jordan Burch are expected to be drafted in April.
Harmon’s pathway to success will be especially enticing for Alexander. After three years in East Lansing with Michigan State, Harmon has strapped a rocket ship to his stock in Eugene. Alexander will hope to do the same in 2025.
