Minnesota Forward Mallory Heyer Commits to Oregon as Graduate Transfer for 2026–27

The three-year Minnesota starter plans a January enrollment following a December graduation.

Overview

  • Heyer will complete a finance degree at Minnesota in December, begin a management master's at Oregon in January, and use her final season of eligibility in 2026–27.
  • The 6-foot-1 forward started 102 games for the Gophers and averaged about 9.5 points and 8.1 rebounds across three seasons.
  • She entered the transfer portal on Oct. 22, less than two weeks before the college season began.
  • Heyer cited Oregon's up-tempo style and her rebounding and ability to run the floor as a strong fit under coach Kelly Graves.
  • She posted 11 points, 14 rebounds and three 3-pointers against the Ducks last season as Minnesota notched back-to-back 20-win campaigns capped by a WBIT title.
