In his Thursday blog, Oregonian writer John Hunt reports that walk-on quarterback Cade Cooper is leaving Eugene, Ore., for Southern Utah.

“Cooper, who was arguably Oregon's most impressive quarterback this spring, didn't quite fit into the Ducks' plans, with the lack of scholarship obviously a factor,” wrote Hunt. “At Southern Utah, he will be reunited with quarterbacks coach Paul Peterson, who developed Cooper at Snow JC.

Cooper is the second quarterback to leave the Duck program; he follows Cody Kempt, who left the team a couple of weeks ago.

COMMENTARY: Losing two quarterbacks is, on the surface, not a good sign. But this likely won’t affect Mike Bellotti’s team, as his gunslinger stable includes Justin Roper and Nate Costa and recruits Darron Thomas (four-star Rivals prospect) and Jeremiah Masoli.
