History of Oregon Senior Quarterbacks - Part 2 The Senior Quarterback History, as Badwater mentioned, was an idea formed from Bo Nix’s performance as a Senior. A performance, it turns out, that won’t be his final in Eugene. Badwater’s knowledge of the history of Oregon players is unparalleled, but I do remember my portion of the list quite well, as it coincides with the beginning of my Duck fandom. Luckily enough, I was able to speak with one of the men on this list, Mr. Dennis Dixon, as he did a weekly segment at the television studio I work at. Though Dennis, who’s final year at UO was my first year, didn’t actually do a sit down interview with me, he did provide some insight into some of his best memories of that emotional roller coaster known as the 2007 season. So let’s get going with the next crop of Senior QBs, starting with the predecessor to Akili Smith… History of Oregon Senior Quarterbacks - Part 2 WWW.ADDICTEDTOQUACK.COM Continuing the list with the Senior QBs of the 21st Century

PREDICTION: Oregon to Land Elite Edge Rusher in 2024 Recruiting Class Dan Lanning and the Ducks need to continue adding game changers at the line of scrimmage to take their defense to the next level. It felt like Oregon had reached a new tier as a recruiting power when they landed Kayvon Thibodeaux in the 2019 class. He was ranked the No. 1 player in the country by ESPN and was a consensus top-10 player on both 247Sports and Rivals. Thibodeaux became the highest-rated commit the school had ever seen, a distinction he still holds today. He's the best edge rusher we've seen come through Eugene in recent years and now Dan Lanning wants to ensure players of his caliber are more common than they are rare.

Several Ducks, current and former, should go in the 2024 NBA draft No Oregon Ducks were selected in the 2023 NBA draft a couple of days ago, but that story should change when the 2024 draft rolls around.

We look at not only great senior QBs, but also QBs that had a great “final” season in looking over the history of great Oregon QBs, we find that there were great QBs of the past that didn’t play a senior season, much like many modern quarterbacks of the past 15 or so years. With that in mind, it might be more appropriate to refer to this as a look at the final season of great Oregon QBs, be they senior or not. Most of them were seniors, but we can’t leave out the greats that left after their junior season. Also, “greatness” can’t be a universal application regardless of the era. College football may be basically the same game that it was 75 years ago, but it has undergone wholesale evolution to get where it is today. Comparing a QB from today directly and statistically with one that played in the 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s is an out of context comparison. The game has evolved too radically over that time to make those kinds of comparisons. With that in mind, let’s celebrate the Oregon greatness of a bygone era.

Oregon Director of Scouting Tyler Dean breaks down June's rising importance in recruiting "The month of June is our Super Bowl in recruiting. I think it really changed after COVID," said Dean. "It opened back up for recruiting around the month of June a couple of years ago. I think everyone saw a lot of success in the month of June, and now the calendar has transitioned. For years, Oregon has relied on one camp towards the end of summer called Saturday Night Live. The name, albeit not as catchy as it once was, lays out what happened pretty simply: on the last Saturday in July, recruits would fly out to Oregon to get in front of the Ducks coaching staff. Some high-profile commits and names emerged from those camps, including players like Dont'e Thornton, Jurrion Dickey, Jay Butterfield, and many more.
