Oregon adds a 5th QB to the roster — Matt Rush from Washington University
It’s always good to have many quarterbacks on the roster just in case disaster strikes via injuries.
Oregon as added walk-on quarterback Matt Rush as a senior transfer out of Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. Rush isn’t your typical walk-on QB, though.
As the starter for the Division III school for the last two seasons, he completed 67 percent of his passes and threw for 54 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He also averaged 240 yards per game.
The 6-foot, 181-pounder from Hinsdale, Ill. was a two-year letter winner in football and three-year letter winner in basketball at Hinsdale Central High School. He threw for over 2,000 yards in his prep career with 32 touchdowns, including 20 touchdown passes as a senior.
