Impact The Auburn transfer is trying to alter his career after a disappointing three seasons with the Tigers, but he's off to a shaky start at Oregon. Redshirt freshman Ty Thompson is playing with the starters initially, a talented recruit but one that wasn't expected to beat out Nix for the job. The new-look Oregon coaching staff may be trying to send a message that playing time must be earned, even for a decorated player like Nix. With three years as an SEC starter and recruiting pedigree under his belt, the former five-star recruit still projects to be the starter for the Ducks this fall. Regardless, the quarterback situation in Eugene will be worth keeping an eye on into fall camp.
