The next player mentioned was the Cougars’ week one starter last season at quarterback. Here is what Coach Joyce had to say on Gage and the quarterback competition, “Last year, we began the year splitting time with Gage Millar Gage Millar 6'0" | 180 lbs | QB Canby | 2024 State OR and Parker Ackerman Parker Ackerman 5'10" | 180 lbs | ATH Canby | 2024 State OR , but Gage would aggravate a knee injury in week three and would miss the rest of the year with a torn ACL. Parker would suffer two high ankle sprains, so the position fell to Kellen Oliver Kellen Oliver 6'1" | 165 lbs | QB Canby | 2025 State OR for most of the season. All three return this fall, and I fully anticipate all three taking snaps for us at critical times throughout the year. Gage is a tireless worker and a very driven kid, and it has killed him not being able to participate in spring contact, but he should be fully cleared by the start of camp in mid-August.” I am eager to see how Gage returns from a severe injury and if he starts at quarterback in week one.
