After Brenden Schooler announced that he was entering the Transfer Portal last week, I steadfastly defended his decision to do so with a lot of my fellow Oregon football fans.
I think he did every single thing this program asked him to do. He played safety on a historically disorganized and awful Oregon defense. He was willing to move to receiver, where he was always sure-handed. And he was an all-conference special teams player throughout his entire career. And he did all that while constantly being recognized by the team as a model teammate.
I believe that Brenden Schooler is a total “Glue Guy” in every sense of the made up sports-term.
