🕵️♂️ Transcript:
welcome back to another episode of rock boys football the Oregon Ducks commitment sweatshirt comes back on for a second time in 24 hours as former Northwestern quarterback Theon Johnson committing to the Oregon Ducks and the first thing that comes to my mind is one it’s never enough for Dan Lanning you look at the boundary quarterback position I totally understand you’re losing a lot of Veteran good players after this year Nico Reed Dante Manning bar muhamad the boundary quarterback position going into 2025 it is not necessarily a concern for me right you look at the coda Fields iffy rodri Pleasant you have nem Alfred and Brandon finny coming in two five-star quarterbacks as freshman Dan Landing wants competitive depth at every single position on the football field and Thon Johnson a guy that I give him all the credit in the world because he knows what he’s getting into like he’s transferring into a deep and talented cornerback room but I think this makes sense for both Theon Johnson and Dan Lanning you know Dan Landing probably looking at the boundary quarterback spot and saying hey we’re really talented we got a lot of young studs who who can play at a high level but we’re going to be relatively young going into 2025 why not add a boundary quarterback in Thon Johnson who’s played over, 1500 snaps in the Big 10 was an all big 10 member in 2024 just the best continue to get better is probably where I want to start with Theon Johnson now we’re going to get into what he brings to this Oregon Ducks program I also want to touch on Rashad samples remaining at Oregon which I think’s a massive storyline for the Oregon Duck fans before we get into it as always just want to say thank you to you guys and to the Oregon Duck fans it it’s been a blast talking this program really for the last 12 months really since Dan Landing has taken over this program the amount of support y’all continue to show means the absolute world if you guys do enjoy the content consider subscribing to the channel without further Ado let’s get into Thon Johnson I think it first starts with experience I mean this is a multi-year starter in the Big 10 at Northwestern over 1500 snaps go back to 2024 mean two interceptions 10 pass breakups he’s been targeted at 141 times in his career has only allowed 85 catches a 65% completion percentage when targeted now I think what’s really interesting one kind of a prerequisite for really every Oregon quarterback that Dan Landing recruits can attack I mean Thon Johnson was third on the team and Tackle only missed 11% which is a phenomenal number for a boundary quarterback who’s forced to tackle in space does Theon Johnson play nickel for Oregon is kind of what I’m interested in because I do look at the boundary cornerback SP say Dan L probably feeling pretty comfortable and Thon Johnson a little bit more of a shorter short area quick uh short area twitch kind of athlete 511 185 that to me screams Nickelback will see see if he makes that move he’s played boundary cornerback for the majority of his career at Northwestern does Dan Lanning maybe kick him on inside as a nickel we’ll kind of see especially with a guy like Brandon Johnson going to the NFL after this year I believe he’s out of Eligibility someone might want to fact check me on that um that that’s that’s a potential for a guy like Thon Johnson you know at the end of the day to me this is just adding another really good player into the defensive back room which is what Oregon did last year too and I think when you have that healthy competition you know Nico Reed kind of won the job for Oregon you know he was a stud Jabar Muhammad we knew what he was coming over from Washington the more good players it’s we say this all the time like I think Dan Landing learned this from his time with Kirby Smart Nick s like it’s never enough competitive depth and the more good players you stack in a position room the better you are going to get out of your starters and it’s obviously worked for Oregon in 2024 now an interesting talking point that you’ll see some fans on Twitter talk about is all right bringing in a guy like Thon Johnson are you squeezing out some of the young studs that you want to see play over the next couple years Dan Lanning has continued to use the transfer portal rather aggressively they don’t really lose the guys they don’t want to lose I think that’s really worth noting one I think it’s a culture thing like I think guys just trust the process under Dan Lanning but more importantly I mean we saw Oregon had a lot of young a lot of talented defensive backs last year in the portal Oregon made a lot of of additions in the transfer portal last year and one of the things we talked about why I considered Oregon such a big winner in the transfer portal last off season yes they got a lot of players to come into their program but they they didn’t with all due respect to the guys that decided to transfer out they didn’t really lose the players that they thought were the future studs of this program and again once you’re once again you’re seeing yes you’ve seen guys like jquan mcroy decide to transfer out but I don’t think a ton of the names that you’ve seen I believe there’s been four you didn’t really look at those guys and say oh yeah that that one hurts really bad it’s kind of just that that healthy balance between yeah you’re bringing some guys in that are elevating this room and some other guys that maybe aren’t going to see the playing field are transferring out but there’s not been a ton of guys even though Oregon continues to bring players in that are getting squeezed out of that program and I think that’s really really important to keep in mind I look at this secondary next year I mean you look at the safety spot it obviously got a heck of a lot better with Dylan tan coming in from Purdue last uh yesterday you got Aaron flowers Payton Woodyard Kingston lopa then you look at the cornerback spot you know if he Dakota Fields Brandon finny he offer coming in rodri Pleasant you had a guy like thron Johnson the amount of talent in the secondary is incredible for the Oregon Ducks now I want to mention two things one Jamari Johnson from Louisville uh tight end sounds like Oregon is probably in the driver seat for this one I remember covering Jamari Johnson when he was coming out of high school now he’s been quiet at Louisville for the first two years this would be to me make a ton of sense to balance out a guy like Kenny and sad guy like keny and Sid you want to get involved in so many different ways split him out wide get him some end rounds Jamari Johnson more of that inline big bodied blocking tight end who who’s a good athlete can certainly give you some juice in the uh the passing game so to speak but at 65270 you know you’re getting a dog in the Run blocking department so you know on paper you look at hey keny and sadik’s coming in feel pretty or coming staying on the team in 2025 we feel pretty good well we know Oregon likes to run a lot of 12 personnel which means having two tight ends on the field you get Jamari Johnson as as your inline tight end who can be hammer in the Run blocking Department then you add a guy like Kenyan saduk who can continue to be that creative offensive weapon within this Oregon offense last storyline of the day Rashad samples sticking with Oregon this was a guy that was getting some head coaching offers at the uh at the G5 level I believe Texas State Sam Houston one of the two um this is huge everybody asked why Oregon and what they’re doing on the recruiting Trail yes we know Oregon I I is very competitive in the nil but you also look at Dan Lanning say he surrounded himself with a coaching staff that is a lead on the recruiting Trail yes Rashad sample is a very good running backs and wide receiver coach during his tenure before coming to Oregon one of the big reasons that Dan Landing decided to bring Rashad samples in is what he can do on the recruiting Trail specifically in the state of Texas you look at the commitment of Doran Moore I would thank Rashad samples there there’s no doubt in my mind he played a massive role in getting the Coran Moore to commit to Oregon yes they’re competitive in nil just like any other top pop power four or Elite power four program you might say but surrounding yourself with this kind of coaching staff it’s something I think Dan Lanning has nailed that all Elite height coaches do you got make sure you surround yourself with a strong staff Dan lanning’s clearly done that as evidence of Rashad samples a very young guy getting head coaching offers keeping him in Oregon staff retention and Rashad samples at some Point’s going to move on up in the world I think we all know that this kid I call him a kid he’s older but he he’s gonna move up in the world but right now keeping him on staff I think that’s really big for Oregon as well we’ll close it out there exciting time to be an Oregon fan getting active in the portal got the playoff run to make appreciate you guys rocking with it if y’all do enjoy the gra to the channel appreciate you guys we’ll talk to y’all later peace
