IN PHOTOS: Oregon’s Terrance Ferguson gets down on one knee for longtime GF Sophia Meyer

Love is in the air for Terrance Ferguson, who proposed to his girlfriend Sophia Meyer in a breathtaking mountain setting. He posted several images from his special day on Instagram.

These images beautifully capture the essence of Ferguson’s heartfelt proposal to Sophia Meyer. The caption to Ferguson’s engagement post read:

“♱ “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 ♱”

In the first image, the Oregon Ducks tight end is on one knee, holding a ring, as Meyer reacts with surprise and joy. Another photo captures the newly engaged couple walking hand in hand through a scenic field full of lavender-colored flowers.

One image is a close-up of the couple, with Meyer’s engagement ring in focus as they share a tender moment. Another photo features the couple sitting with their Australian Labradoodles, Obi and Oso, as they share a kiss.

Why did Terrance Ferguson return to Oregon amidst NFL talks?

The Oregon TE had a tough decision to make during the college football offseason. Ferguson was expected to declare for the NFL draft, but he opted to return for his senior year.

"I had my biggest dream ahead of me of going to the NFL; I think that will always be there," Ferguson said (per OregonLive). There’s still stuff left on the table here before I need to move up to the next level."

“I wanted to win something here that meant something,” he explained. “I wanted to be a part of something special, and with coach (Dan) Lanning and my (position) coach (Drew Mehringer), it’s special.

Last season, Ferguson registered career-high stats with 42 receptions for 414 yards and six touchdowns. It was one of the best seasons ever for a Ducks tight end, and he’s aiming to top that this fall.
