  05/01/20 - Johnny Johnson III, rSr/2022, Oregon, 6-0, 196 (DS#50 WR) + More +

  Not only is Johnny Johnson III coming off a junior season in which he led the Ducks in almost every receiving statistic, he's the No. 3 returning receiver in the Pac-12. That's a credit to Johnson, but also underscores the scale of overhaul Oregon and the Pac-12 at large will be going through this offseason. Johnson led the Ducks with 57 catches for 836 yards and seven touchdowns last season. That's third among returning Pac-12 receivers in yards and tied for second in touchdowns. In other words: Johnson is firmly in the conversation for preseason all-Pac-12 honors. For a player who entered last season with questions as to reliability due to drops in 2018, that's a huge jump. If Johnson is going to take the next step both for the Ducks and to improve his NFL prospects, he's going to have to become a 1,000-yard receiver. - The Oregonian

  04/26/20 - Troy Dye, Sr/2020, Oregon, 6-3, 231 (DS#14 OLB) + More +

  Troy Dye has been losing sleep. But not over the NFL draft. Oregon's highly productive linebacker - the only player in program history to lead the team in tackles four consecutive seasons - was finally selected on the third day of the NFL draft by the Minnesota Vikings with the 132nd overall pick in the fourth round. Getting a new job continues a life-changing month for Dye, who became a father on April 7 when his girlfriend, Oregon track standout Makenzie Dunmore, delivered their son.

"This whole month has been a whole new adventure, and I'm looking forward to it because that's what life's about - it's an adventure, a new journey," Dye said during a Zoom call with the media shortly after being drafted on Saturday. "I'm just looking forward to the new things that I have coming forward to me in life." Dye, who played for three defensive coordinators at Oregon, finished third on the school's career tackles list with 397 and is tied for fourth in tackles for loss with 44. - Register Guard

  04/24/20 - Justin Herbert, Sr/2020, Oregon, 6-6, 236 (DS#3 QB) + More +

  Justin Herbert is staying on the West Coast. Oregon's star quarterback, who led the Ducks to a Rose Bowl victory in his final collegiate game, also will begin his professional career in Los Angeles. Herbert was selected by the Los Angeles Chargers with the sixth pick in Thursday's NFL draft. "Words can't describe how excited and thrilled and fired up I am for this opportunity," Herbert said on a Zoom video call with members of the media. "To be able to spend it in Eugene with my family … it's years of hard work. "I'm going to do everything I can to be the best quarterback I can be and do everything I can for the city of Los Angeles." NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced the pick from his home in New York while Herbert, a three-sport star during his Sheldon High days, participated in the draft from his childhood home in Eugene. The draft was originally scheduled to be held in front of an estimated crowd of 600,000 in Las Vegas before the COVID-19 health crisis forced the event to be conducted virtually. - Register Guard

  04/23/20 - Justin Herbert, Sr/2020, Oregon, 6-6, 236 (DS#3 QB) + More +

  The Los Angeles Chargers selected Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert with the sixth overall pick in the first round of Thursday's 2020 NFL Draft. Herbert (6-foot-6, 236 pounds) is the first quarterback selected by the Chargers in the first round since 2004. The Eugene, Ore. native appeared in 43 career games (42 starts) for the Ducks, amassing 10,541 passing yards and 95 touchdowns to 23 interceptions. In his final college game, Herbert led the Ducks to a 28-27 win over Wisconsin in the 2020 Rose Bowl Game. He was named the game's Offensive MVP after scoring three rushing touchdowns, including a 30-yard, go-ahead score in the fourth quarter. In January, Herbert participated in the 2020 Senior Bowl as a member of the South Team. He went 9-of-12 for 83 yards and a touchdown in the game, good enough for MVP honors. - Chargers.com

  04/21/20 - Justin Herbert, Sr/2020, Oregon, 6-6, 236 (DS#3 QB) + More +

  Justin Herbert has been connected with the Miami Dolphins and the Los Angeles Chargers in the 2020 NFL draft, which begins with the first round on Thursday. Most evaluators expect Herbert won't fall past the Dolphins, with the No. 5 pick or the Chargers with the No. 6 pick. However, Herbert may not make it to the No. 5 pick. The New York Giants, with the No. 4 pick, have "spent a lot of time researching" and done a "ton of work" on the former Oregon Ducks' quarterback, according to a report. "The Giants have done more than their share of homework on Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert," said Ian Rapoport, an NFL insider for the NFL Network. "Herbert has FaceTimed recently with (Giants) head coach Joe Judge."

If the report is true, it's an intriguing development. The Giants stunned the NFL when they used the No. 6 pick to select Daniel Jones in the 2019 NFL draft. Jones posted a solid rookie season, with 3,027 yards, 24 touchdown passes, 12 interceptions and 18 fumbles in 13 games played while posting a 3-9 record as the starter. Jones was far from a disappointment and expectations are positive going into his second season. - The Oregonian

  04/17/20 - Bo Nix, rSr/2024, Oregon, 6-2, 214 (DS#6 QB) + More +

  The NCAA doubled the amount of time athletics staffs can have with their players, but the moved didn't faze the Auburn football players at all. After allowing four hours a week for team meetings and film review, the NCAA Division I Council Coordination Committee announced Thursday that teams will be able to have eight hours of virtual contact per week. That amount is no different than what they'd be doing if they were at school participating in spring practice, linebacker Chandler Wooten said. At Auburn, even if they weren't in practice, they were talking ball. Unless they're talking to their families, those conversations have been reduced to texts and calls.

Besides, it's not like they have that much else to do soon, center Nick Brahms said. Auburn's classes will end soon and he expects everyone will have more time throughout the day and into the evenings. "I think, you know, if we get more done throughout the week, we might as well," Brahms said. "So, I'd rather be talking ball than playing XBOX." All things considered, Brahms feels the team has gotten a lot accomplished during the four hours they had together each week, especially with the installs. Doing it all over Zoom has been different, Wooten said, but the meetings have been informative. - Birmingham News

  04/14/20 - Justin Herbert, Sr/2020, Oregon, 6-6, 236 (DS#3 QB) + More +

  Justin Herbert is expected to be selected by one of three teams in the 2020 NFL draft. However, a fourth team may be interested in Herbert. The Detroit Lions conducted a video conference Herbert, the former Oregon Ducks quarterback, according to a report on Monday. The Lions also reportedly conducted a video conference with former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Are the Lions, with the No. 3 pick in the draft, joining the Cincinnati Bengals, Miami Dolphins and Los Angeles Chargers as the teams most often connected with Herbert or Tagvailoa? Or are they trying to drive up the price to make a trade?

The Lions have veteran Matthew Stafford and he was playing very well until a back injury forced him to the sideline for the final seven games of the season. Stafford is expected to be ready for training camp, and owner Martha Firestone Ford has issued a "win now" mandate to head coach Matt Patricia and general manager Bob Quinn. The Lions aren't likely to use the pick to select a quarterback who won't start in 2020 and they're expected to select a player who can help them on defense immediately. The Lions have been connected with Ohio State cornerback Jeff Okudah and they might believe he could still be available if they trade down. With the Bengals expected to select Joe Burrow with the top pick, the Dolphins (No. 5) and Chargers (No. 6) are most often associated with Herbert. - The Oregonian

  04/13/20 - Bo Nix, rSr/2024, Oregon, 6-2, 214 (DS#6 QB) + More +

  Bo Nix didn't want to spend his spring break like so many of his peers. Auburn's starting quarterback - instead of taking time off or relaxing for a week before what was supposed to be the start of spring practices - wanted to get better, so he booked a trip out to California and headed west for the week. Before the coronavirus pandemic restricted travel and grinded the sports world to a halt, Nix spent some time in Dana Point, Calif., with a trio of quarterbacks - a former pro, a current one and a soon-to-be one - working to hone their skills. There was Joe Burrow, the reigning Heisman winner, national champion and presumptive No. 1 overall pick in next week's NFL Draft.

There was Sam Darnold, the current New York Jets quarterback who was drafted third overall two years ago. There was also Jordan Palmer, the one-time NFL quarterback who has established a post-playing career as one of the most respected private quarterback coaches around. Then, among them all, was Nix, the rising-sophomore at Auburn. "It was just, obviously spring break, wanted to go out there and work with (Palmer) and just get fundamentally sound again," Nix said last week during a Zoom conference call with local reporters. "… Just going out there, obviously you can learn so much from them and you can soak up so much knowledge from them and how they play the game and just how to go about playing quarterback on a level like that." - Birmingham News

  04/11/20 - Dillon Gabriel, rSr/2025, Oregon, 5-11, 205 (DS#12 QB) + More +

  The quarterback position was one of uncertainty heading into the 2019 season with a quartet of players vying for the chance to become the starter. That won't be the case this season as Dillon Gabriel appears set as the incumbent for the job in 2020. The quarterback position was on the biggest uncertainties facing UCF entering the 2019-20 football season. True freshman Dillon Gabriel wound up earning the starting job in Week 2, leading the Knights to a 9-3 record while passing for 3,653 yards and 29 touchdowns. Gabriel is expected to remain the starter in 2020 and build on his success once the coronavirus pandemic is contained enough to allow college football teams to resume workouts.

But third-year UCF coach Josh Heupel has consistently said he isn't ready to name his Gabriel the starter just yet. "We've had great effort and guys are pushing to become their best," Heupel said of the quarterbacks. "And if you want to become a great player, you've got to separate yourself and every decision is a building block to take you where you want to be." New UCF quarterbacks coach Joey Halzle added, "Dillon is grinding harder than I've ever seen him. We had to pull him back and tell him, 'Hey, rest is important too. We're not letting him do everything he wants to do because we need to keep him fresh - that's how hard he's grinding." - Orlando Sentinel

  Justin Herbert will virtually take part in the 2020 NFL Draft. The former Oregon quarterback is among 58 players who the NFL announced will take part in this year's draft, held April 23-25. This year's draft will also serve as a fundraiser for six charities battling with the spread of COVID-19. The American Red Cross, CDC Foundation's All of Us: Combat Coronavirus Campaign, Feeding America's COVID-19 Response Fund, Meals on Wheels America's COVID-19 Response Fund, Salvation Army and United Way's COVID-19 Community Response and Recovery Fund will be featured as part of the "Draft-A-Thon" on ABC, ESPN, ESPN Deportes and NFL Network. - The Oregonian

  04/06/20 - Justin Herbert, Sr/2020, Oregon, 6-6, 236 (DS#3 QB) + More +

  Justin Herbert may have overtaken Tua Tagovailoa in terms of which player will be the second quarterback selected in the 2020 NFL draft. The former Oregon Ducks' star quarterback seems to be gaining momentum as the quarterback who'll be selected after the Cincinnati Bengals do the expected and select former Louisiana State quarterback Joe Burrow with the No. 1 pick. The Miami Dolphins, currently with the No. 5 pick, had been connected with Tagovailoa and expected to select the former Alabama star in the draft. The Los Angeles Chargers, with the No. 6 pick, would select Herbert. However, because of Tagovailoa's injury history - a dislocated hip and two separate procedures on his ankles while at Alabama - and NFL teams' inability to conduct private workouts and physicals as a result of coronavirus pandemic, may have altered Dolphins' thinking on the two quarterbacks. There are reports the Dolphins might be getting antsy about taking on the risk of selecting Tagovailoa - who has been cleared for full contact - and leaning more toward Herbert. - The Oregonian

  Gus Malzahn isn't pontificating or speculating about the 2020 football season. Entering his eighth year at Auburn, Malzahn's focus is just now starting to shift back to football here amid Week 3 of everything being thrown out of whack due to the coronavirus outbreak. His focus, first and foremost, was with his team and making sure everyone is safe and healthy, and as remote instruction and installation of the offense and defense began this week, he has started to get his mind back fully to football mode-but he's not there just yet.

It's why, among other reasons, Malzahn hasn't even considered what will happen to the upcoming season - or if there will even be one, for that matter, as some have speculated in recent weeks - given the uncertain circumstances surrounding all of sports during the COVID-19 pandemic. "We're not speculating," Malzahn said Friday during a Zoom conference call with local reporters. "Really, as far as I've gotten to be honest with you is looking like if they report June 1, if they report June 15, if they report July 1, if they report July 15. To be honest with you, I've not gotten past July 15. So, really, my mindset is really just trying to stay positive and then to have the plan ready to go, specifically when they get back. I've not went anywhere in my mind past July the 15th." - Birmingham News

  04/04/20 - Anthony Brown Jr., rSr/2022, Oregon, 6-1, 217 (DS#18 QB) + More +

  A day after committing to the Oregon Ducks, Boston College graduate transfer quarterback Anthony Brown joined "Recruiting with Andrew Nemec" on 1080 The FAN to discuss his recruitment and decision to join the flock. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound signal-caller and three-year starter was forced to audible when it came to his visit plans due to the NCAA's recent enactment of an emergency recruiting dead period in response to growing concerns about the coronavirus. But Brown had already taken a trip to Oregon and was impressed by what he heard from Mario Cristobal and new offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead. He was also pleased that the trip didn't involve a sales pitch or a promise of playing time - just an opportunity to compete for the starting job vacated by graduating quarterback Justin Herbert. "I wasn't promised anything - and that's another thing that I really liked about the staff," Brown said. "No promises, no guarantees, no strings attached - just me coming in… and me coming in and competing with the other quarterbacks. And being able to bring experience to the table is a huge thing for me. I really appreciated the fact that they offered me the opportunity to come in and compete, especially with nothing guaranteed." The graduate transfer said the absence of a promise is "better for the team honestly… and better for the quarterback room." As a junior, Brown threw for 1,250 yards, nine touchdowns and two interceptions in six games before suffering a season-ending knee injury. - The Oregonian

  Anthony Brown Finally Makes Decision, Transfers to Oregon...Brown originally entered the transfer portal on Dec. 9 of last year. Early reports linked him to Miami, as the school was openly seeking a graduate transfer quarterback, but the Hurricanes eventually landed Houston transfer D'Eriq King. Brown also signaled that he was considering a potential return to the Eagles, retweeting several tweets that detailed how players who enter the transfer portal are still able to return to their original teams.

As the Eagles' day-one starter for the last three years, Brown notched 40 touchdown passes, 20 interceptions, and 4,738 passing yards during his tenure on the Heights. He improved significantly across his seasons, as his passer rating jumped from a 103.5 as a freshman to a 134.8 as a sophomore, and then to a 154.5 during the 2019 campaign. Brown was plagued by his injuries throughout his career, however, and he never played a full slate of games in any of his three seasons as starter. A tear to his right ACL ended his rookie season-after he redshirted as a first-year-and he only threw three passes in the Eagles' 2018 College Gameday matchup against then-No. 2 Clemson before exiting with an internal body injury. - Boston Globe

That battle reportedly added a key name Wednesday, as Yahoo Sports Pete Thamel tweeted that Boston College three-year starter and graduate transfer Anthony Brown is expected to commit to Oregon for his final season of eligibility. - OregonLive
