“They told me a lot of things I wanted to hear,” Adams told the Spokesman Review, and has reportedly been offered a scholarship by Oregon
Adams will graduate in June with a degree in recreation management.
Adams threw for 3,483 yards, 35 touchdowns and eight interceptions this past season for Eastern Washington. In a 59-52 loss to Washington, Adams threw for 475 yards and seven touchdowns.
Adams, a native of Pasadena, California, was named the Big-Sky Conference Most Valuable Player in 2014.
According to Justin Hopkins of 247Sports, Adams has been granted his transfer release and can play immediately for Oregon if he chooses to enroll with the Ducks.
After Oregon’s 42-20 loss to Ohio State on Jan. 12, Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich said that the program would “exhaust every path to find the right guy, the right fit,” to replace Heisman trophy winner Marcus Mariota.
Adams told the Spokesman Review that he hasn’t decided weather to leave Eastern Washington, but he’s “going to check (Oregon) out and see what they have to say.”
“If I do go down there, I’m going to work my butt off,” Adams told the Spokesman Review.
