From Penn State to Oregon | Oregon Ducks Football News

Andrew Olesh, a top tight end recruit who chose Penn State over Oregon, is now transferring to the Ducks after being deeply moved by Oregon’s massive double-overtime win against his former team in 2025. That game, watched from the sidelines as a freshman, sparked a shift in his mindset and ultimately led him to embrace Oregon’s winning culture under coach Dan Lanning — whose player-first approach sealed the deal. Now in Eugene, Olesh is competing for a backup role alongside Jamari Johnson, Markus Dixon, and Kendre Harrison, learning from Johnson and thriving under offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer’s system. After watching from the outside, he’s ready to step into the spotlight at Autzen Stadium and make his mark in a Ducks uniform.
