It’s safe to say that Oregon Ducks quarterback Bo Nix has had his name in the news recently. Last week the first billboard went up in New York City with his likeness on it, titled ‘BODACIOUS,’ launching his Heisman campaign for the 2023 season. Earlier this week, another billboard with Nix’s face went up in Dallas.
For a quarterback who has all of the talent in the world, but a notable disdain for talking about his accolades to the media, it’s an interesting subject to traverse. When asked about the billboards after practice on Wedesnday, Nix was quick to divert the conversation to practice and his teammates. When pressed on the subject, he opened up a bit more about what it’s like having his image spread across the nation, but he obviously was eager to get onto football matters, rather than marketing.
Throughout the interview on Wednesday afternoon, Nix touched on his growth under Will Stein in the Ducks’ offense this fall camp, and how excited he is to go up against a defense that isn’t Oregon’s.
Here are some of the best quotes from that press conference:
