A University of Oregon Greek Life administrator was placed on leave after he launched into an expletive-filled rant about Donald Trump’s 2024 election win, callously telling supporters of the president-elect to “jump off a f–king bridge.”
Leonard Serrato, the fraternity and sorority life assistant director, faced immediate backlash following the offensive tirade he posted on his personal Instagram page.
“I say this in the most disrespectful way possible: I don’t care if you are my family, I don’t care if you are my friend, I don’t care if we’ve been friends our entire lives, you can literally go f–k yourself if you voted for Donald Trump,” Serrato said, according to The Oregonian.
Serrato, who proudly called himself a “petty person,” then took aim at voters who were concerned about inflation.

“If you are so sad about your groceries being expensive, get a better f–cking paying job,” he said.
“Do better in life, get a f–king education, do something because you are f–king stupid and I hope you go jump off a f–king bridge.”
The school has placed him on administrative leave and opened an investigation into the matter.
“As a public university we take our duty seriously to provide an environment that welcomes diversity of thought and respect in alignment with our education mission,” the spokesperson told The Post in an email.
“While we investigate, we are providing support for concerned students and employees, including resources for mental and emotional health.”

The school also counseled Serrato in the aftermath and confirmed the post was taken down, the spokesperson said.
A message to Serrato was not immediately returned Thursday night.
Serrato was jailed for 90 days more than a decade ago after the then-senior at Fresno State brought alcohol for a party with new members at his frat house, according to a report.
An 18-year-old pledge died that night, which landed Serrato in legal trouble, he recalled in a 2021 press release about him joining a job at the University of Indiana.
Since that tragic night, he said his focus was on ending hazing and improving Greek Life.

“My focus is accountability: holding our Greek communities accountable for their actions, but also holding myself accountable that they’re being educated properly,” he previously said.
GAINESVILLE. Fla. — Former Oregon signee Dallas Wilson, a five-star receiver from Tampa, is getting the full-court press from Florida.
A day after Wilson watched the Gators beat Tulane in the Gasparilla Bowl in Tampa, he made an official visit to Gainesville and was given a front-row seat to Florida’s basketball game against North Florida.
Wilson was decked out in royal blue — shorts, beanie and Jordan-brand basketball shoes — as he watched the Gators (12-0) remain undefeated in convincing fashion, 99-45.
The 6-foot-3 Wilson, who caught 41 passes for 677 yards and nine touchdowns at Tampa Bay Tech this season, initially committed to Oregon in January 2023. But his mother died later that year and now his grandmother has an illness that contributed to his decision to ask for his release from the Ducks and play closer to home.

Wilson would be another solid piece for Florida coach Billy Napier, whose recruiting class vaulted roughly 40 spots to No. 11 in 247 Sports’ final composite rankings.
The Gators already added former UCLA receiver J. Michael Sturdivant in the transfer portal. He joined an incoming recruiting class that includes receivers Vernell Brown III, Naeshaun Montgomery and Muizz Tounkara.
Wilson’s agent is Vernell Brown Jr., who played for the Gators and previously worked under Napier in a player development role.
Florida must replace starting receivers Chimere Dike and Elijhah Badger, both seniors who transferred to Gainesville last season. Dike caught a team-high 42 passes for 783 yards and two touchdowns. Badger finished with 39 receptions for 806 yards and four scores.

Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks have shown an ability to take talented but unproven players out of the transfer portal and turn them into stars over the past few years, and they’re looking to do that again with their latest addition.
On TK, former Georgia Bulldogs and USC Trojans defensive lineman Bear Alexander announced that he would be transferring to Oregon for the 2025 season. After redshirting with the Trojans in 2024, Alexander will have two years of eligibility remaining with the Ducks should he care to use them.
Alexander is a former high-end 4-star player who was rated as the No. 50 overall player when committing to Georgia back in the class of 2022. In the portal, Alexander is rated by 247Sports as the No. 4 DL in the portal.
The talent and upside are clearly there for Alexander, who stands at 6-foot-3, 315 pounds as an interior defensive lineman. While he hasn’t been able to produce to the level that many expected so far in his career, there is a belief that Dan Lanning, Tosh Lupoi, and Tony Tuioti will be able to bring the best out of him, much like they did with junior Derrick Harmon this year, who has flown up NFL draft boards and is expected to declare for the pros after one season at Oregon.

Alexander is the sixth portal addition for the Ducks this season.
