Oregon it is! First off, I want to thank God for this amazing opportunity. I want to thank all of Eagle Nation for all the love and support. Want to thank every single one of my teammates for pushing me to be a better man/athlete everyday these past 4 years. Definitely want to thank Coach B, the coaching staff, and the everybody upstairs who has something to do with my success. Thank you Coach B for being the first school to ever offer me, you'll always be a good friend of mine. I also want to thank all the other athletes and coaching staff's here at EWU for all the love & support. I'm going to love & miss yall forever Cheney/Spokane but I have to do what I think is best for me and my family. All love. GOD BLESS #GoDucks #WTD"

Well again, not surprised. Best for the kid, hope he sees the field and I'll be rooting for him all of the way.

Does he start there?

I've been intrigued by him for awhile, in a football and sexual way.

Yea, he'll be the starter as soon as he steps on campus. The other options are a red shirt freshman and a true freshman, both who have talent but aren't ready yet.

With Adams I think the ducks are right back in the playoff conversation. Without him I think they would have been a 3 or 4 loss team.

Thanks J. Guess it wouldn't have been reported on ESPN, if he wasn't starting.

I thought Duck fans were saying there is a big dropoff from Mariotta to Adams. But I guess now that he's on your team you can finally admit he's the best qb in the country? Seriously...he is. And the Ducks are gonna be good with him at qb.

That's a pretty bold statement. Mariota flat out carried the Ducks at times last year. I would be surprised if Adams can do the same.

Anyone who's seen Adams play knows the guy is a stud. He can't stay healthy, but he's a damn good QB.

Can't stay healthy? He was hurt only once during his EWU career. He broke a bone in his foot during the first half against ISU this last year, and played the rest of the game. He missed the next four, but he's never been injured at EWU beyond that.

He gets dinged A LOT. Keith Price didn't miss many games either.

Fantastic QB regardless.

He got beat up in the UW game - he was significantly slowed in the 4th quarter compared to the 1st quarter. Getting hit really put a toll on him.

How so? He's got the sickle cell trait and cramps at altitude, but I've never seen him ailed besides that and the foot injury this last year.

He does need some bulk, but I hope he eventually backs up Wilson in Seattle.
