Bussin' With The BoysAbout this episode
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. 0:00 Intro 2:12 TEZ JOHNSON INTERVIEW STARTS 2:52 How the Nix family changed his life 7:18 Friendship with Bo Nix 11:15 How he ended up at Troy 15:00 Entering the transfer portal 19:00 Committing to Oregon w/o visiting 23:00 Tez has the MOST swag in college football 27:00 Comparing Dillon Gabriel to Bo Nix 31:00 Favorite NIL purchase 32:15 Favorite part about playing for Dan Lanning 35:32 DILLON GABRIEL INTERVIEW STARTS 36:09 Asking Marcus Mariota for permission to wear number 8 37:18 Dillon's INSANE recruiting journey 41:08 Dealing w/ injury AND going to the transfer portal 44:30 How Dillon ended up at Oregon 49:20 Lessons learned from the Transfer Portal 53:40 Favorite part about playing for Dan Lanning 55:00 Tez Johnson doesn't understand DRIP 57:00 Dillon's favorite NIL purchase 1:02:32 Dillon asks Will for life advice 1:11:30 Handling the pressures of money and friends 1:23:00 Dillon's idea to reshape college football For more, visit barstool.link/bussinwtb See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
