Five-star wide receiver Gatlin Bair explains his commitment to Oregon “I’m super excited about Oregon and what coach (Dan) Lanning is building,” said Bair. “He is one of the most ambitious coach’s I’ve ever been around and they’re on track to compete in the Big Ten and win some titles. Junior (Adams) does a great job with developing receivers and they’re running an offense that any receiver would want to be a part of.” "With Oregon, their offensive play style is something I like to play in," said Bair. "They use speed very well. They had two receivers go over 1,000 yards and they’ll continue to use their receivers. Coach Adams does a phenomenal job with receivers. He coached Cooper Kapp and he recruited all those receivers to Washington and he has a great relationship with Puka Nacua (who he recruited to Washington)."

Michael Penix Jr. opts out of Senior Bowl game, per report Michael Penix Jr., Washington’s star quarterback and the 2023 Heisman runner-up, will not participate in Saturday’s Senior Bowl game. After a week of practice in Mobile, Alabama, the former UW passer has decided not to play in the game, according to a report from Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio. Penix is one of a number of players on the National team who have decided to skip the game, leaving the roster “gutted,” according to Florio. The Senior Bowl’s executive director shared on Saturday morning that a defensive lineman is switching from the American team to the National team for the game because of “roster attrition.” Nagy added it’s the first time in the 75-year history of the all-star showcase that a player has switched teams on game day. According to Florio, Oregon’s Bo Nix will also only play a couple of series. That will leave Notre Dame’s Sam Hartman to handle the bulk of the snaps for the team.

Dan Lanning taking vibes at Oregon to another level, expert says Duck Territory's Matt Prehm breaks down the state of the Oregon program heading into the 2024 season. Oregon coach Dan Lanning did plenty to win over the Duck fanbase this past season, guiding the Ducks to 12 wins and a top 10 ranking. And that was before Nick Saban retired at Alabama, with Lanning quickly rebuffing reports that he would be one of the top candidates. "Oregon was already pretty high on Dan Lanning following the Fiesta Bowl victory and his ability to retain most of his NFL-eligible underclassmen. Combine that with the school's best recruiting class in school history and Duck fans were puffing their chests," said Matt Prehm with Duck Territory. "So when Lanning shut down the rumors of Alabama and him as quickly as he did, the vibes in Eugene went to another level." Lanning has talked about his belief in what Oregon could be. And the Ducks will have a chance to prove it in a new conference this year, with Oregon moving over to the Big Ten.
