Ex-Penn State Tight End Andrew Olesh Transfers to Oregon

Oregon Ducks have secured a significant addition to their roster by acquiring tight end Andrew Olesh from the transfer portal. Olesh, a former four-star recruit, spent the last season at Penn State but did not see game action due to redshirting.

Profile of Andrew Olesh

Standing at 6 feet 5 inches and weighing 236 pounds, Olesh was ranked as the No. 57 prospect overall and as the No. 3 tight end in the 2025 class according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. He previously chose Penn State over notable programs including Oregon, Florida, Michigan, and Notre Dame.

Transfer Details

Olesh officially committed to transfer to the University of Oregon on January 10, 2026. He brings four years of eligibility to the Ducks, enhancing their depth at the tight end position.

Oregon’s Offseason Activity

• Andrew Olesh joins three other transfers during the offseason:
• Bailey Ettridge – punter from Nevada
• Keaton Emmett – kicker
• RJ Todd – long snapper from Western Michigan

This addition is part of a broader strategy for Oregon to bolster their team, pushing the projected scholarship roster to 80 players for the upcoming 2026 season.

As Oregon prepares for the next season, Olesh’s arrival is expected to strengthen their offensive capabilities and provide a valuable asset in their tight end rotation.
