Bo Nix will return to Oregon

Nix led the Ducks to a 9-3 record on the year for a fourth-place finish in the Pac-12 while flirting with the College Football Playoff until the final weeks of the season. After three seasons before with Auburn, Nix exploded this season on the stat sheet as a transfer. Nix threw for 3,388 yards on the year, with 27 touchdowns and just 6 interceptions.

With his return to the college football ranks in 2023, it will be a little bit longer before Nix tests the NFL waters via the NFL Draft.
