Oregon's Offseason Shifts with Kwame Evans' Transfer Decision Oregon forward Kwame Evans has officially decided to enter the NCAA transfer portal, marking a pivotal moment for the Ducks as they navigate the offseason following a challenging 2025-26 season. The move provides clarity for the program as it seeks to rebuild and reshape its roster amid lingering questions about its future. Evans, a former five-star recruit, shared his decision on social media, though the transfer portal will not officially open for two more weeks. Evans emerged as one of Oregon’s most dependable players during the 2025-26 season, suiting up in 30 of the Ducks’ 32 games. His consistency stood out in a year marred by injuries and inconsistency across the roster. Despite missing two contests due to minor injuries, Evans remained a key contributor, offering stability both in production and demeanor. Head coach Dana Altman frequently highlighted his resilience, noting how Evans maintained his focus and leadership even as the team struggled with setbacks. Statistically, Evans delivered his best season at Oregon, averaging 13.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game. His shooting efficiency was a standout, with a 45.4% field goal percentage and a career-high 3-point accuracy. Evans also recorded 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals per game, showcasing his all-around impact. His performance included standout efforts such as a 20-point, seven-rebound game against Washington on March 7, as well as four double-doubles against Oregon State, UC Davis, Rutgers, and Northwestern. Over three seasons with the Ducks, Evans has appeared in 101 games with 62 starts, averaging 8.7 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. However, his 2025-26 season felt like a breakthrough, as his confidence, aggressiveness, and leadership grew in tandem with his on-court contributions.#ncaa #transfer_portal #dana_altman #kwame_evans #oregon
