Me neither! Welcome back Poncho! Losing 4 OL starters vs 3 OL starters is a big difference IMO, especially when the one staying is our center.

Is Harkey eligible for another year because of the Pavia ruling? Happy to have Poncho back.

On the Oregon Confidential podcast, George Wrighster said he was hearing of some surprise names that'd likely be returning next season. Have to think Poncho was one of them.

NIL has changed things. Staying in college can be better values than a 3rd-5th round pick.greenyellow wrote: Tue Dec 23, 2025 2:45 pm On the Oregon Confidential podcast, George Wrighster said he was hearing of some surprise names that'd likely be returning next season.

I wouldn’t be shocked if it’s Mateo. His dad has said stuff all year kid of dropping hints it could be possible.UOducksTK1 wrote: Tue Dec 23, 2025 3:35 pmNIL has changed things.

This is great. The anchor of our offensive line is returning.

Ouch. Thinking about the Charger O-Line is a Holidays bummer.
