Vernon Adams named starting quarterback for Oregon Ducks

Vernon Adams

Vernon Adams wasted no time claiming the starting quarterback job at Oregon.

The graduate transfer was listed as the starter when the Ducks’ depth chart for the season opener against Eastern Washington on Sept. 5 was released Friday.

The funny twist to the story is that Adams is transferring from Eastern Washington, meaning he’ll be facing his former team in his first game with the new school. He only was able to transfer two weeks ago, making his quick claim of the job pretty impressive.

Adams threw for 3,483 yards and 35 touchdowns last season with the Eagles. He passed for 11 touchdowns in two games vs. Pac-12 opponents last year, so he certainly has the goods to play with the big boys despite being from an FCS program.
