In the first two installments of our ‘Remember Me?’ series we looked at former five-stars and former Rivals250 quarterbacks who are set to re-emerge at new college programs this fall. But with so many big names transferring every year, there are plenty more former high-profile recruits hoping to resurrect their careers or improve their draft stock at new programs this fall. Here’s a look at eight former Rivals250 offensive recruits set to play for new schools this fall.

Brown was part of a much-ballyhooed 2014 wide receiver class and chose Oregon over options like Vanderbilt, UCLA and others. Despite enrolling early at Oregon, Brown still redshirting and saw increased playing time as his career in Oregon moved along, catching seven passes in 2015 and 17 in 2016. After a coaching change in Eugene, Brown elected to move on and chose Northwestern as his new destination. Brown has already earned his degree and will have two seasons of eligibility with the Wildcats.

The state of Oregon has produced its share of prospects over the years, but it’s not exactly known for being a major talent hotbed. However, thanks to the new staff in Eugene, the Willamette Valley has gotten an injection of talent, via the offspring of the new Ducks coaches. Two sons of Oregon coaches, 2019 four-star quarterback Michael Johnson Jr. and 2019 athlete Raymond Woodie III, have relocated to Eugene to join their fathers, Michael Johnson Sr. (wide receivers coach) and Raymond Woodie (outside linebackers). Both recruits will attend Sheldon High School. The pair was in attendance at Sunday’s event and showed flashes of the talent that has both players in double-digits when it comes to offers. Despite the connection to the Ducks, both insisted that they are letting the recruiting process play out and will take several visits before making a final decision.

So I was perusing the football roster on goducks.com last night and all the head shots are posted and something very interesting caught my attention. In stead of the usual polo shirts for the photos everyone has on a jacket, white shirt and tie. Now admittedly they probably shared the jackets and ties but it is much different than the more casual look in the past.
Maybe that 'culture' thing again.
