Transcript

00:00 First of all, congratulations on winning the Remington Trophy Award.

00:05 Jackson Powers Johnson, you're the first Oregon Duck to ever do so,

00:10 and the first ever Pac-12 player to win it, the most outstanding center.

00:15 What does that mean to you?

00:17 I mean, it means a lot.

00:20 You know, I was fortunate to be around, you know, a lot of great players.

00:24 Sorry.

00:25 But, you know, it means a lot to me.

00:29 And especially being in such a, you know, great program as Oregon,

00:36 being the first one is great.

00:38 So.

00:39 What makes Bo Nix different than other quarterbacks?

00:44 I mean, what Bo brings to a program is so much more than what he does on the field.

00:50 He's a great guy.

00:52 He's your stereotypical franchise quarterback.

00:57 He's going to come in to a program, he's going to change it,

01:01 and he's going to do so while impacting the community.

01:05 And, you know, being a great teammate.

01:07 So he's amazing.

01:09 I think Bo would probably say the same thing about you.

01:12 Hopefully. I think he would.

01:14 What is something about you that maybe fans would be surprised to know about you?

01:19 Ooh, good question.

01:23 I play a lot of sports, but I also ballroom danced growing up quite a bit.

01:29 No, thank you.

01:30 Yeah, I did that quite a bit.

01:33 I competed one year.

01:34 I got like third in the state in the tango.

01:38 And then after that, I'd hang up the dance shoes and just play football.

01:42 So.

01:43 When did you end up hanging up the dance shoes?

01:47 I'd say last year, middle school.

01:50 Yeah, last year, middle school before I got into high school.

01:52 So.

01:54 Do you feel like you could still bust out the tango at any time?

01:56 Maybe end up getting a touchdown someday in the NFL?

02:00 I mean, yeah, ballroom dance is, you know, it's, you got to dance with somebody.

02:05 So it'd be tough to do.

02:06 But yeah, I feel like I got a little bit of dance moves.

02:09 I feel like you could recruit a teammate to go dance with you in the end zone if you scored a touchdown.

02:13 Yeah, probably.

02:15 Yeah.
