Deion Sanders has been the splashiest hire in the world of College Football this offseason when he was hired by Colorado in December. He already presents a challenge to the Ducks in one area, and could provide more going forward as well. On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin also dives into a question about 2023 EDGE prospect Matayo Uiagalelei. His size differs from former 5-star (and #1 overall) recruit Kayvon Thibodeaux, does that mean he can contribute sooner than Thibodeaux did in his true freshman season? Dana Altman's basketball team did something nice for a change, beating Utah and Colorado in consecutive games. They're fighting an uphill battle, but it sets up a massively important week as they travel to the desert to take on Arizona and Arizona State. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

After hosting him on a recent visit, Oregon Football has added another transfer in former Ole Miss safety Tysheem Johnson. Dan Lanning now has a plethora of bodies at that position group, including a healthy blend of experience and young players. What do the Ducks need from Johnson assuming he's a starter? On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Rian Winter (@SportsChat503). Rian shares his thoughts on the 2023 schedule release and how it could, for better or worse, shape the Ducks' 2023 season. Oregon's special teams, outside of place kicker Camden Lewis, were a weak spot in 2022. Have they made enough changes, on the outset, to improve going into next year? Spencer and Rian also discuss the continued struggles of the Ducks' Men's Basketball team under Dana Altman. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Oregon was one of the big winners on the first national signing day back in December, headlined by the commitment of 5-star EDGE Matayo Uiagalelei. The overwhelming majority of 2023 recruits have already signed or enrolled, but there are still a couple of noteworthy players available for the 2023 class. On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Locked On recruiting insider John Garcia. February 1st may not see a massive influx of future Ducks, but there are still some notable names to watch. Most notably, 5-star ATH Nyckoles Harbor who could play a variety of spots in college (in addition to running track). Oregon is also reportedly after 5-star TE Deuce Robinson and 4-star DB Roderick Pleasant. The Ducks have a better shot at landing Pleasant (though USC is the leader it seems) but Duck fans should keep an eye on Robinson--especially if Harbor chooses Michigan or South Carolina.

The defensive line is arguably the unit that most needs to improve going into 2023 for the Ducks, specifically rushing the passer. With so many incoming true freshman on the D-line, including the 2023 class' 2nd-highest rated recruit, just how much should Oregon fans expect to get from those players? On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at how incoming 5-star freshman EDGE Matayo Uiagalelei could fit into the 2023 rotation on the defensive line. Oregon had 3 players transfer out at the WR position, which makes a lot of sense right now. Oregon is in hot pursuit of 2023 5-star ATH Nyckoles Harbor, who is a one-of-a-kind physical athlete. Just how many different positions could he fit at if he chooses the Ducks? Spencer explains why he reminds him of Clemson's Isaiah Simmons. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Oregon added 5th-year safety Evan Williams from Fresno State this offseason, while also recently hearing that safeties Steve Stephens and Jamal Hill would be returning. So how come the Ducks are hosting former Ole Miss safety Tysheem Johnson for a visit? On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at possible reasons as to why Oregon could be looking to add another safety to the roster. The defense needs to improve for the Ducks to be major players on the national stage, is there any chance DC Tosh Lupoi is on the hot seat going into 2023? Oregon's OL Coach, Adrian Klemm, has reportedly interviewed for the New England Patriots' offensive coordinator role--Spencer discusses the latest on that front and why it could be good news for the Ducks. Plus, a check-in on Oregon's (struggling) basketball programs. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! LinkedIn LinkedIn jobs helps you find the candidates you want to talk to, faster.

The Pac-12 Football schedule was released for 2023, and the Ducks have a tough slate of games beginning with week 2 @ Texas Tech (an 8-win program in 2022). However, there are a couple of favorable elements to the schedule that help soften the blow. On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin examines Oregon's 2023 schedule for Dan Lanning's second year at the helm. How should Oregon fans expect the Ducks to perform after a 10-win season and the offseason we've seen so far? Oregon's defense is losing its most talented member of the secondary in Christian Gonzales to the NFL Draft. Where might a good landing spot be and just how good could he be?

Dan Lanning has replaced Co-DC/Safeties coach Matt Powledge with Tulane's defensive coordinator of the last two seasons, Chris Hampton. He had success helping the Green Wave reach 12 wins and a Cotton Bowl victory this year, but how else might Coach Hampton have gotten on Lanning's radar for the open coaching position? On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Tulane radio play-by-play broadcaster Corey Gloor (@CoreyGloor) to provide insight on the Ducks' newest coach. He shares what made Coach Hampton an appealing coaching hire for Dan Lanning and what he brought to the Green Wave's defense for the last 2 seasons as defensive coordinator. Hampton will have two returning players to coach in his position group in Steve Stephens IV and Jamal Hill who announced they are returning to the Ducks. Where could they fit in rotationally in 2023?

Oregon Football has filled the Co-DC and Safeties coaching void left by Matt Powledge who went to be the DC at Baylor. Chris Hampton has been a defensive coordinator and play-caller for Tulane, who underwent a remarkable turnaround this year, for the last 2 seasons. What else on his resume stands out? On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin theorizes why the Ducks were able to get a full-time defensive coordinator to become a Co-DC with the Ducks. Oregon's defense struggled in key situations this year, but they were not as bad as many Duck fans may recall just because they stumbled in 2/3 games to end the regular season. Spencer ends the show checking in on perhaps the most notable #ProDucks players in Chargers QB Justin Herbert. After a stunning playoff loss, they're making a coaching change--but probably not the one that's most needed. Plus, an answer to one of the most listener mailbag questions ever sent into the show.

Dan Lanning, via both the portal and high school recruiting ranks, is reshaping Oregon's football roster in a big way--in particular on the defensive line. Are the players who are coming in helping to bring the "SEC style of defense" that many Duck fans have envisioned since hiring Dan Lanning? On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin goes in depth on one of the recent transfers in TE Cam McCormick, who's going back to join Mario Cristobal at Miami. He leaves Oregon with a uniquely special career, and represents the very best of the craziness of the transfer portal in 2023. Dana Altman said he needed to "clear his head" after an embarrassing loss on Thursday to Arizona State at home. The Ducks then turned around 2 days later and beat #9 Arizona in convincing fashion.

Oregon has added another defensive transfer in former Freson State safety Evan Williams--the younger brother of former Oregon safety Bennett Williams. He enters a position group with the sort of experience and production that, currently, the safety position is lacking for the Ducks. On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin examines the two transfers that Dan Lanning and his staff added on defense this week and where they fit into the rotation. Connor Soelle is on the smaller side for a linebacker, could he play a hybrid position on defense next year? Oregon has been making a concerted effort to recruit a bevy of defensive players but have several coming back who had good moments from this past year like EDGE Mase Funa. His pass rush was inconsistent at best this season, could he move to or split time at inside linebacker? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Amidst transfers and announcements that leave some fans disappointed, there have been some notable players who announced they'll return to Oregon Football in 2023. The latest announcements should give Duck fans optimism about the defense improving in Dan Lanning's second year at the helm. On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at how the defensive line is looking going into next year. Casey Rogers announced his return to the Ducks for another season, so where does this leave the defensive line right now? Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Max Torres to help break it all down. Oregon fans recently got a piece of news that can do nothing but make them smile: LaMichael James will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2023. Spencer reacts to this news and reflects on the illustrious careers of one of the Ducks' all-time great football players. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Dan Lanning led Oregon to a 10-win season in his first ever year as a head coach. The Ducks have now complied 3 straight double-digit win seasons in full years of CFB. Yet, Coach Lanning and his staff are overhauling huge chunks of the roster. On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Locked On recruiting insider John Garcia. He shares insight on what the huge amount of newcomers making their way to the progrum says about Lanning's approach to pushing the team forward. Oregon, despite being over the scholarship limit at this point in time, is still looking to add more players via the portal or prep ranks. John discusses where Oregon stands on adding transfer DL Jordan Burch as well as highly-ranked recruits in ATH Nyckoles Harbor and CB Roderick Pleasant II. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Oregon DT Brandon Dorlus announced he is returning to Oregon for one last season in Eugene after being named a 2nd-team All-Pac 12 player this season. He brings back many things to the Ducks, and they're all good for the Ducks' defensive prospects. On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by 'Locked On Sun Devils' host Richie Bradshaw to break down their latest transfer on defense. What did Connor Soelle show at Arizona State to grab the attention of Dan Lanning and his staff, and where could he fit into the Ducks' defensive scheme? For months, Oregon thought they would be getting 5-star QB Dante Moore before a late flip to UCLA. They were still able to land 4-star 23' QB Austin Novosad and get Bo Nix back for another year, but how much of a loss could that be looking into the distant future?

Oregon Football has a lot of roster management to figure out in the coming weeks with the portal window closing and another signing day looming. The Ducks are currently over the limit of 85 scholarship players, how will that number come down? On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at how Oregon could get their number of players down as they continue to look at adding players from the prep ranks or via the portal. One of those targets appears to be former 5-star DL and South Carolina Gamecock, Jordan Burch. The Ducks should be interested in him, but he may not be the homerun addition some might think. The last time Oregon had a great defense (2019) it was led by Kayvon Thibodeaux and an elite secondary, with solid but not special linebackers. Just how relevant is that position in today's pass-happy football style for the Ducks' defense? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The transfer portal window closes in less than two weeks, and the Ducks have already added several players who look like starters for 2023. What are the biggest areas still remaining on the roster where a transfer could be valuable? On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Rian Winter (@SportsChat503) to discuss what Oregon's roster still needs to improve upon. Despite having added LB Jestin Jacobs, another linebacker could (surprisingly) be a good fit for Lanning's defense. After a bowl victory and a 10-win season to close out year 1 under Dan Lanning, Rian shares his thoughts on the state of the progrum at this point in time.

Oregon surprised many on the early signing window by signing 5-star EDGE prospect Matayo Uiagalelei. They have their sights on a similar player in 5-star Nyckoles Harbor, but can the Ducks really get him to commit? On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Locked On Recruiting Insider John Garcia. He sheds valuable insight on the Ducks' latest, and most notable, recruiting pushes. Oregon's presence as a major track hub could help them in the pursuit of players with high-end speed who want to continue running track in college. Oregon lost a highly-rated flip in 4-star CB Caleb Presley (Washington) but flipped a 4-star DB themselves in Daylen Austin from LSU. John talks about the differences (if any) between those 2 players, and how Oregon's recruiting picture looks in Texas after losing Co-DC/Safeties coach Matt Powledge back to Baylor.

Dan Lanning and his staff went 10-3 this season with a roster almost entirely full of players he and his staff were unfamiliar with. How close are the Ducks to building a roster full of Lanning's players that could fully implement his vision for the team? On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at where Oregon's recruiting efforts should be going forward with another signing day (February) still to come. Dan Lanning and his staff have done a good job so far, but there's more work to be done. Mailbag questions come in about Oregon's kicking game, which has been worse at times in years past but still needs to improve in some areas. Bo Nix had an outstanding year for the Ducks at quarterback, but just how good was it? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Oregon Football's latest transfer comes at the wide receiver position, one who graded exceptionally well according to PFF this year with Troy. Could Tez Johnson become a major player on offense in 2023 given his history with Bo Nix? On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at the most recent addition to the roster, and the most recent loss to the coaching staff. Matt Powledge, this year's Co-DC and safeties coach, is going back to Baylor to become the defensive coordinator. Oregon is getting a returner on the offensive line in Steven Jones, who will play his sixth year of college football next year.

Oregon's defense during the 8-game winning streak was not nearly as bad as the numbers had indicated, but then in the two Pac-12 losses to UW and OSU it let the Ducks down. Is there any cause for optimism after a good showing in the Alamo Bow, particularly in the second half? On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at how Oregon's defense looks at this time heading into next year. DT Popo Aumavae, who missed this year due to injury, announced he is returning--and that's a good piece of news. Noah Sewell's career with Oregon has come to a close after announcing he's heading off to the NFL Draft. Spencer pays proper homage to one of the best Duck linebackers of the last decade (or more), and gives a quick check in on basketball. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
