Oregon football will retain a pair of assistants through the 2019 season, as it was announced today that safeties coach Keith Heyward and wide receivers coach Michael Johnson have both signed contract extensions through 2019.
Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal released the following statement about the extensions:
"We are excited to extend the contracts of Keith and Michael," said Cristobal. "Keith is a rising star in this industry and played an instrumental role in our remarkable improvement defensively across all metrics, and we look forward to his continued impact in the development of our players. Michael has great experience in developing offensive talent in both college football and the NFL, and his tremendous contributions this season were reflected in the improvement of our young receivers and an offense that scored 40 or more points in seven games in 2017.
