QUAAACK: Former Yale OT Michael Bennett Commits to Oregon
Dan Lanning and the Ducks have kickstarted their offseason reload in a big way following the end of the 2025 season. After landing a commitment from Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola Monday morning, Yale offensive tackle Michael Bennett has also announced his commitment to the Ducks.
The 6-foot-5, 310-pound tackle made the trip out to Eugene this weekend following a visit to Texas last week. Bennett is the first offensive line commitment for Oregon and the fifth overall addition for the Ducks out of the transfer portal after the Ducks landed Penn State tight end Andrew Olesh on Sunday afternoon.
Oregon’s newest addition will have one season of eligibility remaining upon enrolling at Oregon.
Bennett appeared in all 12 games for Yale last season and was an All-Ivy League first team selection. He was also an Associated Press FCS All-America honorable mention.
