During the 2023 season, Muhammad was Washington’s team leader with 16 pass breakups and tied for the team lead with 3 interceptions. He was named a second-team All-Pac-12 performer while adding 46 tackles, 5 tackles for loss and 2 sacks.
During the regular-season win over Oregon, Muhammad had 3 tackles and 2 pass breakups. He delivered 2 interceptions and 4 pass breakups in a road win over Oregon State and also contributed 3 pass breakups in the College Football Playoff win over Texas.
Muhammad joins a transfer class for the Ducks that also includes former Duke defensive back Brandon Johnson and former UTSA DB Kam Alexander. Overall, Oregon’s transfer class is ranked No. 3 in the country per 247 Sports.
In addition to the transfer portal pieces, Oregon received a number of key decisions to return from draft-eligible underclassmen. Lanning has his Ducks well-positioned entering 2024 as a potential Big Ten title and Playoff contender after falling just short of the CFP in 2023.
