This offseason Oregon added three graduate transfers to the roster. The Ducks plucked wide receiver Tabari Hines from Wake Forest, tight end Kano Dillon from South Florida and offensive lineman Dallas Warmack from Alabama. All three players will be eligible to play immediately. Hines and Dillon will have one year to play, while Warmack will have two after graduating college quickly.

Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal explained on Sunday that the grad transfer additions go in line with his strategy to improve the roster in any way possible.

“Those are three guys at three positions that are going to need help," he explained. “Any opportunity we have to upgrade the roster without ever compromising character: drive, determination, and DNA…we’re going to do so, because either their making significant plays for your offense or defense or they’re upping the competition and making everybody better."

Hines has been limited to open fall camp as he underwent a knee procedure earlier this summer, while both Dillon and Warmack have participated in all three practices to date. Each member of the trio will have an opportunity to leave their mark this fall.

Here's Cristobal's breakdown of what all three provide:

Tabari Hines — “He had 50 plus catches in the ACC. He’s certainly a guy who’s an experienced route runner. He’s a mature and polished guy. I know he’s a bit dinged up, so we haven’t seen him in live action yet."

Kano Dillon — “Kano Dillon is a 270 pound tight end that can run. He’s got really soft hands. A bunch of our guys knew him from their time at South Florida. He’s a really really talented guy who could help us do a lot of things. He can stretch the field and control the line of scrimmage."

Dallas Warmack — “Obviously I’ve known him from before at Alabama. He’s a really good football player. Powerful, a guy that can protect the line of scrimmage, good balance, good pass protector."

Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert has been impressed with the trio as well this week. Through three practices, Herbert described the group as "really impressive", adding that "adding any depth is huge."

Warmack in particular has caught the eyes of his teammates. Junior offensive tackle Calvin Throckmorton was bullish about the 336-pounder's potential to help this team.

“He’s doing awesome,” he said. “He’s a great guy. He fits in with our group super well. Strong, very strong dude. He’s working his tail off. We’re excited to see how he continues to develop during camp.”

Warmack is currently slated to play right guard. He's competing with sophomore Jacob Capra for that spot. Capra had only nice things to say about his new teammate.

“Dallas is a cool guy coming from Alabama,” he said. “We sit next to each other in position meetings — real funny guy. Starting to become a friend. He’s a good player. We have a lot of good players. It’s hard to be scared of just one guy when there’s people going crazy everywhere.”
