OT: Oregon Adds 6th QB, FCS Star and 5th Year Transfer Vernon Adams

A couple of notes here

1. Six  QBs at a top 5 level program?  Outrageous!  There will be hurt feelings of existing QBs!  How dare they.
2. Probably says Braxton Miller is not headed to Oregon - that would be 7 QBs.  Doesn't mean he can't go to FSU ... or stay at OSU.
3. I recall EWU playing very early last year (first game of the year?) because we had an open thread and people were talking about the red field and how their QB looked pretty damn sweet. 
4. Has to be a tiny club of FCS player graduating to a FBS program in his last year; and certainly tinier for it to happen to a top 5 type of program.

Eight days after Adams, Eastern Washington's prolific junior quarterback, returned from his official visit to Oregon, he decided early Monday to spend some more time on UO's campus next fall by joining the Ducks as a fifth-year graduate transfer.

With the move from Cheney, Washington, to Eugene, Adams will become possibly the first quarterback to transfer for his final season "up" a level, from the NCAA's Football Championship Subdivision to its Bowl Subdivision. In doing so, he places a big bet on whether he'll emerge from Oregon's six-wide competition to succeed NFL-bound and Heisman-winning quarterback Marcus Mariota as the starter.

The quarterback battle will go on without him in the meantime, with junior Jeff Lockie, sophomores Ty Griffin and Taylor Alie, redshirt freshman Morgan Mahalak and true freshman Travis Waller, an early college enrollee, all earning reps in spring practice in April.

Adams passed for 110 touchdowns, 10,438 yards and 31 interceptions while completing 64.8 percent of his attempts in his three seasons as EWU's starter and added 11 rushing touchdowns.  He led EWU to an upset of Oregon State in Corvallis in 2013 and passed for seven touchdowns in a 59-52 loss at Washington last fall.
