Oregon’s Top Returning 2023 QBs

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today, we’re out on the west coast looking at the state of Oregon’s top senior quarterback prospects. The recruits featured in this article were standouts during the 2021 season and demonstrated a unique skill set on film. Their recruitments range from prospects with power-five offers to under-valued 2023s with no offers. Regardless of their offers, each player featured has proven they are among the state’s elite, and I believe they’ve got a big senior campaign coming in 2022. Keep an eye on these seniors as we enter this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator {"className":"is-style-wide"} --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity
