Hooks Eyes His Own Path in Eugene | Oregon Ducks Football News
Description
Iverson Hooks, the Oregon Ducks’ new wide receiver, reveals his name was inspired by NBA legend Allen Iverson—suggested by his brother during a hospital stay. With 97 catches, 1,200+ yards, and 10 TDs at UAB, Hooks brings four years of experience to a stacked Ducks receiver corps. He was drawn to Oregon by the success of fellow transfer Tez Johnson, who thrived with 20 TDs and 2,000+ yards before heading to the NFL. While acknowledging similarities in speed and route-running, Hooks vows to carve his own identity on the field. He stayed patient during the transfer process, knowing Oregon was his dream school—and when Coach Lanning called, he didn’t hesitate. Thrilled by the Pacific Northwest’s electric football culture, Hooks is eager to hit the ground running in fall camp and make his mark as a breakout star.
