Vernon Adams Jr. passes math final and is officially a Duck

Vernon Adams has passed his final exam at Eastern Washington, completing his undergraduate degree and opening the door for his transfer to Oregon in time to play for the Ducks in 2015.

It looks like we finally have an answer to whether Adams will ever be eligible or not to suit up for the Ducks.

Andrew Greif of the Oregonian reported in July that Adams’ transfer to Oregon was being held up after he didn’t officially complete his degree at Eastern Washington University.

Adams will certainly have big shoes to fill as he replaces Marcus Mariota in the Oregon offense. To this point, Helfrich has refused to discuss any player not on Oregon’s roster, leaving the discussion of the Ducks’ quarterback situation vague.

In three seasons at Eastern Washington, Adams passed for 10,438 yards and 110 touchdowns, with 31 interceptions at EWU.

Barring an unforeseen development, Adams will eventually be Oregon’s starting quarterback for the 2015 season, though Jeff Lockie has been manning the position in his absence.

I talked with Bralon Addison today, who has worked out with Vernon in non-official capacities before, and says he thinks he would be a good fit for this offense.

After committing to the Vikings, the dynamic quarterback changed his mind on signing day and instead inked his National Letter of Intent with Eastern Washington.

If he wins the competition during the next few weeks, he will have an opportunity to play his first game at Autzen Stadium against his former program.

Adams’ transfer process began February 9, when he signed his financial aid agreement with Oregon.

Adams took the test on Thursday and passed the course.

Adams originally intended to finish school in the spring and join Oregon for summer workouts, but he did not pass the required math class on the first go-around.
