Former Oregon WR's career may have new life after transfer decision

Ryan Pellum's career with the Oregon Ducks was over before it even started, but it may have new life.

The former four-star wideout from Long Beach, California, was ranked as the No. 26 wide receiver in the 2024 class, according to the 247Sports Composite. 

Pellum took a redshirt last season at Oregon before hitting the transfer portal in January. He was then arrested and charged with assault with use of a firearm after he allegedly pistol-whipped someone in his hometown on Christmas Day in 2024.

In June, Pellum was sentenced to probation as part of a plea deal, and now he's trying to get his college football hopes back on track.

As such, it's being reported that Pellum will transfer to Delaware State for the 2025 season. Notably, he'll be joining up with former NFL star and three-time Pro Bowler DeSean Jackson, who is heading into his first season as the Hornets' head coach.
