At this point, many signs seem to be pointing toward the idea that quarterback Bo Nix will return to Eugene for another year with the Oregon Ducks in 2023.
It has already been confirmed that he will play in the Holiday Bowl vs. North Carolina, which is not something that many players do if they are set to enter the NFL Draft. Often times, a player that is done with his collegiate career will opt out of bowl games and choose instead to get ready for the NFL combine rather than play in an exhibition that offers more opportunity to hurt his career, rather than help it.
However, we still aren’t 100% certain on whether or not Nix will return for his final year of collegiate eligibility with the Ducks. While many signs point to it, we can’t know for sure until the announcement is made.
So for argument’s sake, let’s say that Nix does end up declaring for the draft and saying that his college career is over. What happens then?
Who plays quarterback for Oregon in 2023 if Nix is not in the picture?
That is certainly a big question to answer, and one that will have major ramifications on how competitive the Ducks are next season. We took a look a few options, should the situation arise where Nix is not in the picture.
