Pennsylvania Duck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted December 16, 2023 With the college football regular season ended and bowl games about to begin, many players and fans have already turned their thoughts to next season. For many players, that means looking for new opportunities at the college level through the transfer portal. For others, it means looking to take the next step and take a shot at the professional ranks. I will be summarizing the prospects of those players for Oregon who have been rated as probable draft picks.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 9 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Where Bo Nix ranks among the best transfer QBs of all-time Can you imagine telling Oregon fans back in December of 2021 that Bo Nix, the quarterback they just landed from Auburn out of the transfer portal, would eventually be a Heisman Trophy finalist, and one of the best transfer portal quarterbacks in the history of the sport? I don’t think many Duck fans would have believed you. That’s certainly what ended up happening, though, as Nix took over the Oregon offense and set off on a record pace in 2022, only improving his numbers under Will Stein in 2023 and leading the Ducks to the brink of the College Football Playoff. Now, with only one game remaining in his college career, it’s fair that we look at his standing among the best transfer portal QBs in the history of college football. There are some big names, for sure, with guys like Joe Burrow, Cam Newton, and Jalen Hurts standing among some of the best. This past week, 247Sports ranked the top 10 of all time. Here’s where they placed Bo Nix...

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 11 Share Posted January 3 Where is the best landing spot for Bo Nix in the 2024 NFL Draft? It may not have sunk in yet, but Bo Nix’s career at Oregon is finished, and in April he’ll be selected by one of 32 teams to continue his career in the NFL. It seems like the Bo Nix era at Oregon just began, but it will be fun to follow Bo as he continues his journey into the NFL. With the level of quarterback talent in this year’s class, a first-round selection isn’t guaranteed for Nix, but he is still one of the best prospects in the draft.
