QUAAACK: Jabbar Muhammad Commits to Oregon

Jabbar Muhammad, a former cornerback for the Washington Huskies, has committed to play for the Oregon Ducks. Among the top three universities, which also featured the Texas Longhorns and Alabama Crimson Tide, he selected Oregon.

When he enrolls at the University of Oregon, he will have one season left to use his eligibility. The 185-pound, 5-foot-11 cornerback made a commitment to the Ducks after visiting Eugene this past weekend. Muhammad transferred from Oklahoma State and was chosen for the Pac-12 All-Star team in 2023. He had 20 pass breakups, 5 tackles for loss, 3 interceptions, and 2 sacks for the Huskies in the previous campaign.

He’s the fourth defensive back transfer to

commit to Oregon this offseason, joining Duke nickel Brandon Johnson, Kansas State safety Kobe Savage and UTSA

cornerback Kameryn Alexander. The DeSoto, Texas native is also the first

cornerback to commit to Oregon since cornerbacks coach Demetrice Martin

took a job on Jonathan Smith’s staff at Michigan State.

Muhammad is the 11th overall transfer portal commitment Oregon has added this off-season in a haul highlighted by players like former Oklahoma quarterback Dillon Gabriel and former Texas A&M wide receiver Evan Stewart, a five-star recruit from the 2022 class. Muhammad projects to start alongside returner Jahlil Florence at cornerback in 2024 in a secondary that’s undergone a lot of change since the end of the 2023 season. The Ducks also added three other cornerbacks highlighted by a duo of high school All-Americans Dakoda Fields and Ify Obidegwu as well as Sione Laulea III, a junior college standout ranked inside the top five overall players nationally.

Muhammad’s addition shows that Oregon has made improving the secondary a major priority ahead of making their debut in the Big Ten.
