The Oregon Ducks landed graduate transfer wide receiver Tabari Hines, who played last season at Wake Forest. Hines joined me on Wednesday on the Bald Faced Truth radio show (12-3p on 102.9-FM in Portland and 95.7-FM in Eugene) to talk about his plans for next season.

On what Ducks QB Justin Herbert told him:

"He just expressed the need for a wide receiver, another guy to add to the young group they have there. Being experienced, I can bring another dimension, another wrinkle."

On what he knew about Ducks football growing up:

"I remember as a kid just watching Oregon Ducks football. Marcus Mariota was there. DeAnthony Thomas was there.... I want to bring that excitement back."

On what he feels his strengths are:

"Besides being able catch passes and run fast, I have a good football IQ. I can read defense. I have experience. I know what quarterbacks want to see and how to execute a game."

Listen to more with Hines here, including relationship with his mother, his love of the New England Patriots, and how difficult it was to leave Wake Forest:
