    What Oregon players have said about playing with a left-handed quarterback

    Oklahoma transfer Dillon Gabriel is the favorite to replace Bo Nix as Oregon's starter in 2024. If that happens, he'll be the first full-time starting Duck QB since the 1990s.

     

    The process for integrating the receivers to this sort of motion began even before Gabriel arrived on campus. Per wide receivers coach Junior Adams, the moment Gabriel was committed they got to work.

     

    The team's monarch machine is capable of emulating every type of pass, kick or punt. It also allows you to tinker with the passing delivery, allowing the receivers to get practice catch from a lefty before one was officially with the team. 

     

    "We changed it to a left-hand spin so they can get used to seeing the spin," Adams explained. "So that's helped out a lot, and they pay a lot of catch and run routes with Dillon a lot."

    Less than a week after losing Carlos Locklyn to Ohio State, Oregon has zeroed in on a top target to replace him as the Ducks' running backs coach.

     

    Arizona State's Ra'Shaad Samples has emerged as a target for Oregon's running backs coach opening, sources tell 247Sports.

     

    Before being hired as Arizona State[s pass game coordinator and wide receivers coach last year, the now 29-year old Samples was the youngest running backs coach in the NFL with the Los Angeles Rams after stints as a running backs coach at SMU and TCU.

     

    "When you think of Coach Samples, this is a guy who's been an assistant head coach in college football from the time he was 26," Arizona State head coach Kenny Dillingham said last year. "He's been the youngest position coach in the NFL."

     

    "This guy will be the youngest head coach in college football someday. It will happen. There is no doubt in my mind he's going to be. He's ready for it. He could go run a program today. I don't know if somebody is going to hire somebody that young. … But if somebody did, they could hire him today and he'd go run a football program."

     

    In addition to being regarded as one of the nation's top recruiters, Samples helped Arizona State wide receiver Elijhah Badger earn All-Pac 12 honorable mention recognition last season and helped Ulysses Bentley become a Freshman All-American running back at SMU in 2020.

     

    "He's a young dude, but he has a presence," Dillingham said of Samples last year. "He has leadership. He's not a young dude where everyday kids walk over him. He's a guy who has kids in the meeting rooms with him early. He's a guy who is hard on guys. He's a guy who has a standard."

    If you've ever attended a college football or college basketball game, the one thing that you may look for right off the bat is where each team's mascot is. Okay, maybe not the first thing, but the...
