Is it still true that as a senior with an extra year due to covid, he won't count against scholarship limit?

I think you will find your answer here at this site with reference to Covid recruiting. Specifically, read the section  What about athletic scholarships?

Learn more about the NCAA decision to grant an extra year of eligibility relief to Division 1, 2 and 3 athletes due to COVID-19.

Oregon OL Steven Jones will return to the Ducks for a sixth season

 

The 6-foot-5, 340-pounder from Temecula, Calif. will be a Duck for the 2023 season.

Oregon will need both his size and experience next season.

This is a significant get. 

 

I think Oregon fields a solid offensive line next year. 

 

Three or four from Oregon's roster... Conerly, Jones, Powers-Johnson and Harper (who started in Jones'absence this year and let's face it that was most of the year and the offensive line still looked good) 

 

Then throw in a couple transfers in Cornelius and Angilau and the Ducks have the makings for a solid line. And I haven't even mentioned the other linemen who have spent time developing who may seen the field at some point as well.

I appreciate that one of the main things he refers to is continuing to help the Ducks build the Lanning culture!

 

Somebody is making an impact in the lives of the Men of Oregon!

Oregon EDGE player Mase Funa will return for the 2023 season, he told reporters following Wednesday's 28-27 Holiday Bowl victory over North Carolina.

"I'm running it back," Funa said to close the press conference, to which Dan Lanning reacted to the news with a loud "Let's Go" in response.

one of the few games that our front seven made most of the tackles. A very good sign.

Will that make Funa a 5 year starter? If memory serves me right he started his freshman year.

"Intercepcion!

Quack, quack, quack, quack!"

I'm not getting too excited about the performance in the Holiday Bowl.  The announcers kept saying how bad the North Carolina offensive line was this year.

I think he was referring to this year and he's heading to the pros not coming back.

Wow! You could be right. It never occurred to me he was referring to this year. I took it to mean he was a senior this year and returning for his Covid year.

Popo was showing to be an absolute dude in spring and fall last year. Glad to have him back.

"Oregon took home more than one victory after last week's thriller against the North Carolina Tarheels. After being named defensive player of the game, Ducks outside linebacker Mase Funa announced that he would be returning to Eugene in 2023 for one more season."

 

What Mase Funa's return means for Oregon.
