Jackson Powers-Johnson on Playing with Bo Nix, Replacing Jason Kelce on Eagles, & More

I DON’T KNOW WHAT THIS MAN DID TO BIG JAX – BUT I’M GLAD I’M NOT HIM. OUR NEXT GUEST WAS A UNANIMOUS ALL-AMERICAN CENTER FOR THE OREGON DUCKS. HE’S THE 2023 RIMINGTON TROPHY WINNER, AND HE’S GOT THE GOODS TO PLAY ON THE D-LINE, O-LINE, YOU NAME IT… BIG JAX IS IN THE HOUSE – JACKSON POWERS-JOHNSON HELLO!

YOU WERE THE ANCHOR FOR THE OREGON OFFENSIVE LINE WHO LED ALL OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL IN SACKS ALLOWED FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. ONLY 5 SACKS GIVEN UP IN 2023… AND THIS WAS YOUR ONLY YEAR AS THE FULL-TIME STARTING CENTER. HOW DID YOU DOMINATE SO QUICKLY AND EFFECTIVELY?

YOU ARE THE 2023 WINNER OF THE RIMINGTON TROPHY – GIVEN TO THE BEST PLAYER AT THE MOST UNHERALDED POSITION ON THE FIELD, THE CENTER. ONLY PAC-12 PLAYER TO EVER WIN IT. HOW’D YOU FEEL RECEIVING THAT ACCOLADE AND BEING DUBBED THE BEST CENTER IN COLLEGIATE FOOTBALL?

SPEAKING OF THE BIRDS… ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED CENTERS OF ALL TIME, JASON KELCE, HUNG IT UP AND RETIRED. ARE YOU HAPPY HE’S HELPED PUT THE BIG BOY CENTERS ON THE MAP – OR DO YOU LIKE TO OPERATE IN THE SHADOWS? I KNOW HE’S YOUR GOAT – HAVE YOU MODELED ANYTHING IN YOUR GAME AFTER HIS?

BY THE WAY, WE’RE HAVING YOUR OREGON GUY BO NIX ON THE SHOW NEXT WEEK – WANT TO ASK HIM A QUESTION AND WE’LL PLAY IT BACK FOR HIM? … WHAT’S SOMETHING YOU CAN TELL ME ABOUT HIM THAT PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW…
