WATCH: Bo Nix makes immediate impact in Oregon spring game

Former Auburn quarterback Bo Nix was one of the more sought after quarterback prospects in the transfer portal this offseason and he wasted no time in making an instant splash in an Oregon Duck uniform. On Saturday afternoon in the Ducks’ spring game, he completed a 70-yard pass to his receiver, Seven McGee.

His final stats for the spring game were that he completed 8 of 15 passing attempts for 230 yards, while tossing in three touchdowns and just one interception.

Nix was rated as the No. 6 quarterback prospect in the On3 2022 Transfer Portal Rankings. Last year for the Auburn Tigers, he completed 61 percent of his passes for 2,294 passing yards, while tossing in 11 touchdowns and just three interceptions.

Nix joins new head coach Dan Lanning at Oregon

Nix won’t be the only new face on the field for Oregon next season. As Nix begins his tenure as Oregon’s quarterback, Dan Lanning will be beginning his as the Ducks’ head coach. Lanning was previously Georgia’s defensive coordinator.

The new Oregon head coach signed a six-year, $29.1 million deal to become the program’s next head coach after Mario Cristobal departed for Miami.

Prior to landing Nix in the NCAA Transfer Portal, Lanning spoke about his vision for Oregon’s offensive attack next season. Lanning is hoping that Nix, the 2019 SEC Freshman of the Year, can bring some explosiveness to Oregon’s offense.

“Ultimately, I think teams that can have a balanced approach but attacks weaknesses — that attacks every ounce and inch of the field — that’s going to be really important for us,” Lanning said. “The No. 1 indicator right now in college football in wins and losses is explosive plays. We’re going to be a team that’s built off explosive plays on offense, defense, and special teams. You have to be able to push the ball down the field, you have to be able to attack in the air and on the ground. That’s definitely going to be a part of our approach here.”
