The 5-foot-9, 165-pounder from Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, Nevada has drawn comparisons to former Duck and current Kansas Chief De’Anthony Thomas for his size and speed. Lindsey has actually been in contact with Thomas, according to the Oregonian/Oregon Live, and the latter has offered positive reviews of his alma mater. “They are an amazing school and I’d be blessed to play there,” Lindsey said in the report. “I’ve had dreams about playing there since I was a kid and being a Duck would not seem bad at all.”

After seeing the video, Mariota responded in kind:

– As the Eugene Emeralds begin a stretch of 31 games in 32 days, they lost in nail-biting fashion Thursday night. The 3-2 loss to Salem-Keizer was the first game of a three-game series.
