Former Oregon Ducks defensive lineman Treven Ma’ae is reuniting with former UO safeties coach Matt Powledge.
Ma’ae, who entered the transfer portal earlier this month, announced his commitment to Baylor on Wednesday. He visited Waco, Texas last weekend.
The 6-foot-5 Ma’ae steadily gained weight since arriving at UO and moved from defensive end to defensive tackle this spring. The fifth-year junior has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
Ma’ae had 12 tackles with two for loss, including a sack, and a pass breakup last season, down from 20 tackles with two for loss, including 1.5 sacks, in 2021. He appeared in two games in 2020 and didn’t play while redshirting in 2019.
A three-star prospect out of Las Vegas, Ma’ae was ranked No. 635 overall and the No. 42 at weak-side defensive end in the 2019 recruiting class.
Ma’ae is the 19th former UO player to commit to or sign with a new team this offseason, joining Moliki Matavao and Keanu Williams (UCLA), Jackson LaDuke, Sean Dollars and Adrian Jackson Jr. (Nevada), Seven McGee (Jackson State), Justin Flowe (Arizona), Dawson Jaramillo (NC State), Bradyn Swinson (LSU), Brandon Buckner (MTSU), Byron Cardwell Jr. (Cal), Bram Walden (Arizona State), Jay Butterfield (San Jose State), Dont’e Thornton (Tennessee), Cam McCormick (Miami), Terrell Tilmon (Texas Tech), Caleb Chapman (Incarnate Word) and Keith Brown (Louisville).
