Taylor Lewan Is Finally BACK + Dan Lanning On Why He Didn't Take The Alabama Job

In this episode from our 2024 Bussin' Spring Tour Will sits down with Oregon standouts, Tez Johnson and quarterback Dillon Gabriel.

Tez talks about what drew him to the Nix family and how impactful of a role they played in his life. We also learn that Tez didn't even need to take visit to Oregon to commit to Dan Lanning and his staff.

Lastly, Tez gets into the benefits of NIL and how he is the DRIPPIEST player in all of college football.

Next, Dillon Gabriel joins the pod and dives into everything from asking Marcus Mariota to wear #8 to decommitting from Army, ending up at UCF, almost going to UCLA, transferring to Oklahoma, and then settling in at Oregon. 

Towards the end of the pod, Dillon becomes the interviewer and picks Will's brain about how to take care of your body, prioritize your time between relationships and football, and what it is like transitioning out of the NFL.

These two are absolute studs who will tear it up in the 2024 college football season.
