I think there is a better than 50% chance he leaves to play elsewhere. Mariota is going to be the starter the next 2 or 3 years and with Lockie & Rodrigues redshirt years done, he ha no place on the team.
It will be outside of the Pac-12, unless he wants to go to Arizona and try to play one year under RichRod. Coaches with mobile QBs in the Pac 12 UCLA - Hundley for 3 more years AZ State - Kelly for 2 more years AZ - as I stated, only one year for Bennett under RichRod Where can he go to utilize his talents? I think he stays at UO, gets his degree, and moves to WR.
WVU could use him. Holgerson is a master of the Spread and Bennett has wheels compared to Geno. Maybe even TCU as they have QB woes.
I was thinking a lower division school so he could play next year. The down side is that he wouldn't get a scholarship.
this decision (minus the stay at Oregon part) is probably why Chris Harper is going to be drafted by an nfl team. Good move.
Reminds me of a Drew Bennett, Chris Harper, or Matt Jones. Good size, good wheels, could be a great secondary receiver in the NFL.
