The wait is over.
Montana State quarterback Dakota Prukop will transfer to Oregon, according to FOX Sports’ Bruce Feldman. Prukop was deciding between the Ducks or Alabama. His  decision marks the second consecutive season the Ducks landed a graduate transfer quarterback from the Big Sky Conference.
The former Montana State signal-caller visited both Eugene and Tuscaloosa this past weekend as possible landing locations for his final season of eligibly. Yet, even with the departure of former offensive coordinator Scott Frost, Prukop chose to become a Duck.
Between recruiting visits, Prukop spoke of Oregon’s program to Fox Sports:
“You can tell that Oregon wants to win. The guys on that team, they get it. Oregon’s arms were wide open. They have an outstanding cast of really competitive guys and even better dudes. I developed a great rapport with coach (Mark) Helfrich and coach (Matt) Lubick very quickly.”
The dual threat quarterback threw for 3,025 yards, 28 touchdowns, 10 interceptions while completing 62.8-percent of his passes in 11 games this season. He also ran for 797 yards and 11 more scores.
“Oregon’s got a pretty good legacy but there’s one thing they haven’t done yet (and that’s win a national title),”  Prukop told Feldman. “Oregon’s team next year is gonna be unreal. It’s a quarterback’s dream to play with those guys. And I can’t wait to do that.”
Prukop graduated from MSU with a degree in economics last Saturday and is expected to enroll at Oregon this winter. ESPN’s Chantel Jennings reported that he plans to take his GRE within the next two weeks, and that if all went smoothly, would begin taking classes on Jan. 4.
