Overview

  • Dan Lanning said Oregon will name its starting quarterback within roughly two weeks.
  • Dante Moore remains the perceived frontrunner, but Austin Novosad has closed the gap, with national reporting indicating he could earn snaps this season.
  • Lanning confirmed transfer receiver Evan Stewart will be down for a while with no return timeline.
  • Gary Bryant Jr. drew praise for leadership and reliability as a returner, signaling an expanded role in the receiving corps.
  • Coaches touted a deep running back group featuring Noah Whittington, Makhi Hughes and Jayden Limar, while younger wideouts, including Dakorien Moore, are expected to shoulder more targets.
