A game hasn’t been played and two Oregon football players have been recognized by the Big Ten media.
Quarterback Dillon Gabriel and wide receiver Tez Johnson have been named to the pre-season Big Ten All-Conference team when the league’s three-day media day event began in Indianapolis Tuesday morning.
Gabriel, a transfer from Oklahoma, hasn’t played an official down for the Ducks, but many think this could be a Heisman season for Oregon’s newest QB1.
As for Johnson, he made quite the splash last season after spending two years at Troy. After a slow start, Johnson ended up with 86 catches for 1,182 yards and 10 touchdowns for the Ducks in 2023. He now leads a very talented receivers room that could be the best in program history.
Gabriel and Johnson were the only two Ducks named to the team. Ohio State had five players and Michigan had four. Here’s a complete list of preseason honorees.
