– For the second year in a row, Oregon might grab a graduate-transfer quarterback from Big Sky country.
Dakota Prukop, a transfer-eligible quarterback who threw for 3,025 yards and 28 touchdowns this past season at Montana State, is visiting Oregon this weekend. Prukop told Fox Sports’ reporter Bruce Feldman that aside from Oregon, he’s also allowed to transfer to Texas and Texas Tech.
“Oregon is my number one school right now because of the shotgun-style of offense they run,” Prukop told Feldman.
Prukop also proved this season that he’s a threat on the ground, rushing for 797 yards and 11 touchdowns.
