Danny O'Neil

Danny O'Neil is a former American football quarterback.

O'Neil grew up in Orange County, California before attending the University of Oregon and becoming the starting quarterback for the Oregon Ducks football team. In 1994, O'Neil led the Ducks to the Pac-10 championship and a berth in the 1995 Rose Bowl, Oregon's first since 1958. Though the Ducks lost to Penn State 38-20, O'Neil set Rose Bowl records for most passes completed (41), most attempts (61), most yardage (465), most plays (74), and most total offense (456 yards), and was named the game's co-MVP with Penn State's Ki-Jana Carter.^[1] He was named to the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame in 2003.^[2]

O'Neil was not drafted into the National Football League. He played part of one season with the Anaheim Piranhas of the Arena Football League before retiring from football to become a youth pastor.^[3][4] He is currently a pastor in Eugene, Oregon, where he has ministered to players from his former team.^[5]
