Iverson Hooks following Tez Johnson's path to OregonIt's not hard to make the comparisons. Both Iverson Hooks and Tez Johnson stand at about 5-foot-10 and weigh around 165-175 pounds. Both hail from Alabama, where they broke out at smaller schools — Johnson at Troy and Hooks at UAB. Both got a call from the Oregon Ducks after entering the transfer portal, and jumped at the opportunity to play for their "dream school" across the country. For Hooks, there's pressure from the outside for him to become everything that Tez was in Eugene. Internally, though, it's about doing everything he can to help propel Oregon forward, while remaining who he is at heart. “I don't let it really put too much pressure on myself because I like being myself," Hooks said at Oregon's Media Day. "I'm just satisfied and grateful to be able to be in the same conversation as a great receiver like Tez. Both being from Alabama, I just look up to his footsteps and hope that I can carry on in his shoes." https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2026/08/06/oregon-football-iverson-hooks-dream-school-tez-johnson/91180680007/

It only took one practice for Oregon's 5-star freshman to grab everyone's attentionThe Oregon Ducks have taken recruiting to another level under Dan Lanning, as it's become an annual tradition for the coaching staff to reel in multiple 5-star recruits. While the rankings are just an opinion from scouts, you can often tell pretty early with the 5-star recruits if the hype was truly real or not. In the 2026 recruiting class, Oregon signed 4 5-star recruits, but only Jett Washington and Kendre Harrison were part of the team for Spring Camp. When Oregon kicked off camp on Wednesday, the Ducks got a first-hand look at two of their newest 5-star recruits, and the hype is already building.

A bit of history from 2017 https://www.thespectrum.com/story/sports/college/southern-utah/2017/09/02/suu-football-smoky-skies-put-oregon-game-doubt/629448001/ https://archive.ph/362Tm Dates this Fall 2026: Sep. 5 - Boise State - 12:30 Sep. 19 - Portland State - 7:30 During the day, the sun warms the ground, allowing warm air and smoke to rise and disperse. At night, the ground cools rapidly, creating a layer of cold air near the surface that is capped by warmer air above. This acts like a lid, trapping smoke and stagnant air near the ground. Wind speeds generally decrease at night, further preventing smoke from blowing away. Why does the smoke get worse in the morning? Cool air gets trapped near the ground overnight, trapping wildfire smoke close to the surface. That’s why air quality is often at its worst around sunrise before improving later in the day as temperatures warm and the air begins to mix

I have been working above eagle creek, estecada area. Smoke is pretty thick. After 2 days I am hacking up a lung a bit and my eyes have seen better days for sure. Shut down early yesterday due to low humidity. Pretty miserable in the woods right now.

What the hell is wrong with these people? I live in Tualatin and the whole place is hazy.
