Oregon lands elite defensive transfer in former Minnesota safety Koi...
The Oregon Ducks have reached into the transfer portal and gotten their guy. Koi Perich was one of the top defensive players available on the transfer portal. In fact, according to Rivals, he was the top safety available and the No. 13 overall player available after becoming an elite safety in the Big Ten over the past few seasons with the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Perich announced he was entering the transfer portal on Jan. 1, just days before it opened. Now, it's being reported that he's officially found his home. That home will be in Eugene with Dan Lanning and the Ducks.
