  12/20/21 - Dillon Gabriel, rSr/2025, Oregon, 5-11, 205 (DS#12 QB) + More +

  Quarterback Dillon Gabriel has committed to become a Bruin after three seasons at Central Florida. Gabriel was rated as a Top 5 transfer quarterback by 247sports and his commitment to UCLA brings him closer to his home state of Hawai'i. Gabriel is the second transfer to announce his commitment to the Bruins this week, joining former Duke receiver Jake Bobo. These additions follow coach Chip Kelly's approach to the transfer portal in recent years. Kelly mentioned Wednesday that the Bruins took on only 11 early signees Wednesday in order to allow the program to explore the transfer portal to land impact players. Gabriel's commitment may indicate four-year starting quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson is unlikely to take advantage of his extra year of eligibility. - Orange County Register

  12/12/21 - Bo Nix, rSr/2024, Oregon, 6-2, 214 (DS#6 QB) + More +

  Auburn quarterback Bo Nix is in search of a new school. The three-year starter said in a video posted to Instagram on Sunday that he plans to leave Auburn as a graduate transfer. Nix didn't name any potential destinations. The former five-star recruit started the first 34 games of his career before a season-ending ankle injury against Mississippi State. LSU transfer T.J. Finley started the final two games for the Tigers, who finished 6-6 and are set to face Houston in the Birmingham Bowl on Dec. 28. The son of former Auburn quarterback Patrick Nix called the decision to leave "the toughest I have ever made." "I have loved Auburn from the moment I knew Auburn," Bo Nix said. "All I ever wanted to do was win a championship for Auburn. I can truthfully say that I've given everything that I have for that goal, and I have played in so many amazing games because of it." Auburn went 9-4 in Nix's first season as a starter and 6-5 last year in the pandemic-shortened season. Coach Gus Malzahn was fired after the regular season concluded and Bryan Harsin was hired to replace him. - AP College Football

  Oregon's offensive line will lose a second starter this offseason. Aumavae-Laulu has started nine games at right tackle for the Ducks this season and appeared in all 13 games. The 6-foot-6, 315-pound Hawaiian came to Oregon from Navarro College in Jan. 2019. He played in two games at right guard while redshirting that fall, then started all six games in 2020 at right tackle before an injury in the Pac-12 Championship game against USC. Aumavae-Laulu is the first of Oregon's 10 players that are juniors in terms of eligibility, all of whom are automatically entered into this year's draft and have until Feb. 4 to opt-out, to announce his intention to remain in the draft. - The Oregonian

  12/07/21 - *Kayvon Thibodeaux, rSo/2022, Oregon, 6-4, 256 (DS#3 DE) + More +

  Oregon defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux made it official on Monday night and announced that he would not return to the Ducks for his senior year. Thibodeaux is expected to be one of the top picks in the upcoming NFL draft, and the move to go pro was widely anticipated. He announced his decision on Twitter and Instagram, thanking Oregon for giving him "the opportunity to transition into a man ready to take on the world." "After much thought, consideration and a lifetime of preparation, I have decided to forgo my senior season of football and enter the NFL draft, further pursuing my dreams," he wrote. Thibodeaux will not play for the No. 15 Ducks in the Alamo Bowl against No. 14 Oklahoma on Dec. 29.

Oregon coach Mario Cristobal left the Ducks earlier Monday to become head coach at Miami. The Ducks on Monday night named assistant Bryan McClendon, pass game coordinator and wide receivers coach, interim coach for the bowl game. A 6-foot-5, 258-pound edge rusher out of Southern California, Thibodeaux proclaimed at the start of the season that his goal was to win the Heisman, a tall order for a defense player. But he sprained his ankle in Oregon's opener and had to miss the next two games. He also was ejected from the Ducks' overtime loss at Stanford, and had to miss the first half of the next game against Cal. - AP College Football

  11/27/21 - Anthony Brown Jr., rSr/2022, Oregon, 6-1, 217 (DS#18 QB) + More +

  Anthony Brown Jr. threw for 275 yards and two touchdowns while running for another score, and No. 11 Oregon beat Oregon State 38-29 on Saturday to win the Pac-12 North Division and claim a spot in the league's championship game. The Ducks (10-2, 7-2) will face No. 16 Utah for the conference championship in Las Vegas on Friday. Oregon was coming off a 38-7 loss last Saturday against the Utes, which dropped them from No. 3 in the College Football Playoff rankings to No. 11 and out of contention for a national title. Oregon extended its home winning streak to 19 games, including 15 conference games.

Washington State, which defeated Washington 40-13 in the Apple Cup on Friday night, needed the Beavers (7-5, 5-4) to beat the Ducks to win the division. Devon Williams had six catches for 110 yards and a touchdown for Oregon, which will play for the league title for the third consecutive season. Travis Dye ran for 99 yards and two scores. B.J. Baylor ran for 59 yards for the Beavers, who are bowl eligible for the first time since 2013. Baylor came into the game leading the Pac-12 and at No. 10 in the nation with an average of 109.1 yards rushing per game. Oregon State's Chance Nolan threw for 308 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He ran for another in the waning moments. The game was chippy, with several shoving matches breaking out. Oregon state wide receiver Tre'Shaun Harrison was ejected late. - Oregon/AP College Football

  11/15/21 - Bo Nix, rSr/2024, Oregon, 6-2, 214 (DS#6 QB) + More +

  Auburn quarterback Bo Nix will miss the final two games of the regular season with an ankle injury. Nix was injured in a 43-34 loss to Mississippi State Saturday that represented the program's biggest collapse after leading 28-3. A team spokesman confirmed Sunday night that the Tigers quarterback is scheduled to have surgery on Monday. Nix, a three-year starter, stayed in the game before getting replaced by LSU transfer T.J. Finley in the final minutes. Auburn visits South Carolina on Saturday and closes the regular season against No. 2 Alabama. Nix posted on Twitter and Instagram about the injury. Having started all 34 games since arriving as a five-star recruit three years ago, Nix has completed 197 of 323 passes with 11 touchdowns against three interceptions this season. He has also run for four touchdowns. Finley started five games at LSU as a freshman, making his first start against Saturday's opponent, South Carolina. He went 2-3 as a starter before losing the job to Max Johnson. Finley transferred after the spring. His biggest impact came when he threw the go-ahead touchdown pass late in a comeback win over Georgia State. That prompted some fans to clamor for a change in starter, but coach Bryan Harsin stuck with Nix. - AP College Football

  11/14/21 - *Kayvon Thibodeaux, rSo/2022, Oregon, 6-4, 256 (DS#3 DE) + More +

  Oregon defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux says it's at that point of the season where every team wants to knock off the Ducks. Anthony Brown Jr. threw for 135 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 123 yards and another score as No. 5 Oregon beat Washington State 38-24 on Saturday night. Oregon, ranked No. 3 in the College Football Playoff rankings, has won five straight and extended its winning streak at Autzen Stadium to 18 straight games, including 14 straight victories at home over Pac-12 opponents. "Every game is a playoff game," Thibodeaux said. "Us having this target on our backs, it makes every team want to play their best. You know, one thing that we had a problem with was playing down to teams. And now I feel like we're in that mode where teams have to play up to us." Oregon (9-1, 6-1 Pac-12) needed to win and for Stanford to beat Oregon State up the road in Corvallis earlier on Saturday to clinch the Pac-12 North. The Beavers didn't hold up their end, winning 35-14 over Stanford.

Washington State (5-5, 4-3) tied the game at 14 before halftime but Oregon pulled away in the third quarter. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak over Pac-12 opponents for the Cougars, who fell to BYU on Oct. 23 in a midseason nonconference game. The Cougars still need one more win to become bowl eligible and perhaps redeem a season that has been marked by turbulence. Washington State dismissed head coach Nick Rolovich on Oct. 18 after his refusal to get vaccinated against COVID-19. "Our guys aren't going to quit. They're gonna keep fighting," WSU interim coach Jake Dickert said. "They're gonna keep battling. I think the biggest thing we were looking for in this game is just improvement and keep progressing in our program, keep moving forward." - Oregon/AP College Football
