It is the new normal that the end of the college sports season sends players rushing to the transfer portal. It is a dynamic that coaches, players, and fans alike are adjusting to. The end of the Oregon Ducks softball season has been no exception.
Oregon’s season ended in Arkansas on May 22nd, and immediately the transfer portal door began spinning. On May 23rd, fourth-year sophomore Jasmine Williams announced the end of her Oregon career. Junior Makenna Kliethermes and fifth year pitcher Jordan Dail also announced their intention to play elsewhere. Then on May 27th, starting third baseman Rachel Cid announced her departure.
