Overview
- Reports from On3, ClutchPoints and local outlets said Monday that former Arkansas forward Malique Ewin has committed to play for Oregon for the 2026–27 season.
- A federal court ruling that granted a subset of players a fifth year of eligibility reopened the NCAA transfer portal for those athletes and created a short window that allowed Ewin to move.
- Ewin is a 6-foot-10 senior who began at Ole Miss, spent a year at South Plains Community College, had a high-output season at Florida State, and averaged about 9.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.1 blocks at Arkansas last season.
- Oregon expects Ewin to provide inside size and senior leadership and to pair with Sean Stewart as the Ducks try to replace departed center Nate Bittle and improve after missing the tournament.
- The commitment is reported by media and transfer trackers and has not yet been confirmed by an official Oregon press release, and it arrives as the program adds several other transfers during this condensed portal period.
