In his first year as the head coach at Oregon, Mario Cristobal has added some experience to his Ducks secondary.
A photo made the rounds on social media Sunday that showed Tim Hough wearing an Oregon Ducks uniform, indicating a transfer to the Pac-12 school was seemingly in the offing. The cornerback also confirmed to Adam Rittenberg of ESPN.com that he has indeed decided to transfer to UO.
#Oregon is adding cornerback Tim Hough, a graduate transfer from #UNLV, Hough tells me today. Hough started games in each of the past three seasons, recording four interceptions in 2015 for the Rebels. He’s set to graduate May 12 and will be eligible immediately.

As a graduate transfer, Hough will be eligible to play immediately for the Ducks in 2018. The upcoming season will be his final year of collegiate eligibility.
Earlier this offseason, Hough decided to transfer from UNLV.
In 36 career games played with the Rebels, the defensive back started 17 of those contests. Hough started nine of those games in a 2015 season that saw him intercept four passes, tying the school record for a freshman. Those are the only picks of his collegiate career thus far.
