00:03I was really honored today to get to bring three players here with me.
00:07I'll start talking about our quarterback, Dante Moore.
00:11Obviously, a guy that I feel like has been around for almost as long as I've been around at Oregon.
00:16Took a little pit stop somewhere else and then came back and joined us.
00:19But obviously, had an unbelievable year last year.
00:22And is really, obviously, a special quarterback.
00:26But what makes Dante so special is who he is as a person.
00:29Seeing the community outreach that he does, the leader that he is for his teammates, the work that he's done.
00:34And obviously, a guy that can make a mature decision about what's best for his future and where he's headed
00:38and what he wants it to look like.
00:40And how he has some business that he wants to complete.
00:43So really excited that he gets to be, you know, really somebody that's showcasing Oregon this week and here at
00:50Big Ten meetings.
00:51Also got the opportunity to bring Jamari Johnson.
00:53Jamari, you know, last year I sat up here and I talked about a tight end at Oregon and how
00:56special he was in Kenyon Sadiq.
00:58Jamari is also that special.
01:00He's a guy that we recruited out of high school.
01:02Actually, he used to play quarterback.
01:03And he just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
01:05He can run.
01:06He can block.
01:06He can catch.
01:07If you've seen Jamari today, that means you've also seen his smile.
01:11He's a guy that makes you feel real special every time he steps in the room.
01:14And I'm certainly excited to see what he's able to accomplish this year in our offense.
01:18And then thirdly, I got the opportunity to bring Tatum Tuioti.
01:21This is a guy that's been along our journey the entire time.
01:23He's, you know, son of our defensive line coach, Tony Tuioti.
01:27He's a guy that came in at 215 pounds and now he's 265 pounds.
01:31He's been one of the best players in our league.
01:33Certainly a dynamic piece of our front.
01:35I remember looking out the window, you know, when Tatum first joined us.
01:40And he's out there on the sled, striking the sled.
01:42And I think that speaks volumes about his work ethic, the time that he's put in, and what he's created.
01:47He's in a soldier.
01:51You
