Nevada offensive line transfer Isaiah World has committed to Oregon. The 6-foot-8, 309-pounder was was on campus in Eugene for a visit with the Ducks that started on Monday evening.

World is the latest transfer portal commitment for Dan Lanning and the Ducks, who add the No. 7 offensive tackle in the transfer portal according to the On3 rankings.

The San Diego native entered the transfer portal earlier this month after spending the last four seasons in Reno. As a redshirt junior World has one year of eligibility remaining for the 2025 season.

He fills a major need for Oregon, who could lose both of their starting tackles following the 2024 season in Ajani Cornelius and Josh Conerly Jr. Oregon will also lose Marcus Harper II, who will exhaust his college eligibility following this year. World is the second offensive tackle commitment from the transfer portal for coach A’lique Terry, who also landed a commitment from former Texas State offensive tackle Alex Harkey on Wednesday.

Matthew Bedford, a former Indiana offensive lineman who transferred to Oregon last offseason, could have a potential to return after missing much of 2024 with an injury and appearing in just one regular season game.

World brings a strong track record with him to Eugene, having earned All-Mountain West honorable mention honors in the 2023 and 2024 seasons.

Prior to playing for the Wolfpack, World was a three-star (80.92 per On3 Industry) prospect from Lincoln High School in the 2021 recruiting class.

Fans should expect the Ducks to continue weighing their options along the offensive line in the transfer portal, as they’ve been linked to Vanderbilt transfer Gunnar Hansen and Texas State transfer Alex Harkey.

An Oregon man pleaded guilty Wednesday in a Connecticut superior court to stalking and harassing University of Connecticut basketball star guard Paige Bueckers, ESPN reported.

Robert Cole Parmalee, 40, of Grants Pass, was arrested in September on charges of breach of peace, stalking and second-degree harassment of Bueckers.

A protective order will remain in place until 2064, according to court records.

Parmalee received a one-year suspended sentence and three years probation, during which time he is barred from Connecticut and any arenas, hotels or practice facilities where the UConn basketball team is present, according to ESPN.

UConn campus police became aware of Parmalee in June after he allegedly sent “rambling” emails to university staff that said he was trying to marry a member of the basketball team, according to ESPN. Parmalee also is identified as “Parmelee.”

Parmalee also posted on social media about wanting to marry Bueckers, including sharing a post with a fake wedding invitation and posting pictures of him with an engagement ring on his tongue. In an August TikTok post, Parmalee wrote, “I’m coming to UCONN Paige Madison Bueckers, I’ll be in Hartford tomorrow morning,” shared photos of himself at an airport with tickets.

Oregon court records show Parmalee has a history of criminal charges going back to 2002, including sexual abuse, harassment, driving under the influence and possession of methamphetamines.

In 2023, he was arrested after his roommates alleged he set the house on fire in Josephine County in order to get money for a bigger house, court records show. The case was dismissed after a certified mental health evaluator found him unable to aid and assist in his own defense.

The evaluator reported Parmalee appeared to be displaying a psychotic disorder and likely a schizophrenia spectrum disorder.
