Sewell further went on to talk about the prospect of reuniting with Oregon teammate, Justin Herbert, in Los Angeles.
“To block for Herb again, man. I think it’s another dream and another, I guess a vision that would be fun, just like you said I blocked for Herb throughout this whole time I’ve been here in Oregon, and to have that chance, again to share the same field as him would be a dream come true,” Sewell said via Fernando Ramirez of SI.com.
Since committing to OSU, Sewell was named an immediate starter during his true freshman year at Oregon in 2018. Bengals HC Zac Taylor was at Oregon’s Pro Day to monitor the situation surrounding Sewell.
