It appears Oregon will have some competition for one of the more productive players on the graduate transfer market.
After deciding to leave Wake Forest, Tabari Hines took an official visit to Oregon earlier this month. Two weeks later, Texas and USC have entered the fray and are in the mix for the wide receiver’s services per Adam Rittenberg of ESPN.com.
According to Rittenberg, Hines will make his decision on a new school at some point next week.
