- The Ducks held their annual scrimmage to cap spring practice Saturday in Autzen Stadium.

- The Ducks were back inside Autzen Stadium as spring practice continued Thursday morning.

- Practice: SPRING GAME...

- Spring game drop stats: Stewart 4/5, Hampton 3/5, Ressler 3/4, Lewis 1/6, others listed.

- Oregon completed 2026 transfer portal class with 16 additions; portal class ranks 25th nationally.

- Gage Hurych bright prospect at kicker; spring misses minor, strong leg evident for fall.

- Nacho still starting at OT; portal opportunities for starting OTs appear limited.

- Practice: Ducks vs Ducks: 2026 Spring Game Presented by @pepsi .

- Oregon returns a young DB core with Brandon Finney, Ify Obidegwu and Aaron Flowers all framed as sophomore starters with NFL-type upside. - Finney is the headline piece after starting as a true freshman and returning as an All-American-caliber corner. - Flowers is expected to factor at safety if healthy; the snippets mention both prior production and the need to rebound after injury disruption. - The safety competition stays live behind the projected starters, with Trey McNutt, Jet Washington and a transfer addition all pushing for back-end snaps.

- Oregon defensive line retention: All four starting D-linemen were retained at premium cost; defensive coordinator change (TSH to Chris Hampton) may help; Dante Moore back at QB with elite receiving core (year-two DeVonta Smith, Evan Stewart), backed up by Dylan Raola—strong insurance for injury-heavy 16-game playoff path. - Oregon: Retained all four starting D-linemen at premium cost; Dante Moore back at QB; elite WR room (DeVonta Smith year two, Evan Stewart); Dylan Raola backup QB insurance for 16-game playoff stretch; defensive coordinator change (TSH to Chris Hampton) may unlock potential.

- Ghost transfer rule vulnerable to antitrust legal challenge; injunctions could allow athletes/schools through season penalty-free.

- ### Top Actionable Intel - Oregon's offensive ceiling is national-title caliber, but the OL is the clear swing unit. The hosts think QB, RB, WR, and TE can all be top-three national position groups, while the line and new OC Drew Mehringer determine whether this becomes the best offense in the country. - QB Dante Moore is locked in as QB1. Backup reps may rotate between Dylan Raiola and Brock Thomas depending on game situation and redshirt management, but if Moore were unavailable for a meaningful stretch, Raiola is viewed as the higher-upside answer. - WR and skill talent are deep enough to raise Moore's Heisman/elite-offense case, but the OL must improve by October/November after last year's late-season pressure issues. - ### Team / Position Notes

- Oregon QB Dante Moore must lead offense; Dakorien Moore and Evan Stewart co-lead receivers.

- Pick/market: Oregon completed spring practice over the weekend with its annual spring game.

- Addison may not be ready to back up LT; hope AKS gets garbage-time reps, can be stud junior/senior year like his dad.

- Next year better; QB wash, WR improved, Center/DLine worse, rest improved.

- QB/LB: Yes, our best pass rusher should be rushing the QB, not playing ILB.

- UW QB disengaged, coach job-hunting. - Difficult to support this product.

- Oregon's linebacker availability picture hinges partly on Braden Platt, who has flashed in limited work but has not consistently stayed healthy before this year. - Devin Jackson is the experienced option with high-end athletic and physical traits, but the snippets stop short of locking him in as the clear starter. - The room also includes several younger players with limited on-field opportunities, so internal development is central to the 2026 outlook. - A strong returning defensive front is expected to help cover some linebacker inexperience.

- Oregon's depth chart is described as unusually strong outside, which may keep some capable pass-catchers away from outside receiver snaps. - The room has enough backfilled talent that a surefire starter-caliber player can serve as insurance rather than being forced into one role. - Hooks is specifically mentioned as a player who may not be a starter because of the depth around him. - Week 1 against Boise State is framed as the point where snap counts and the tight end/receiver depth chart will start to become clearer.

- Autzen Audibles podcast breaks down Oregon’s post-spring defensive depth chart.

- Oregon O-line changes: Addison to LT backup, Rogers to LG starter, Hampton added WR backup, Dixon TE backup.

- Oregon's big three QB prospects last year never played games together.

- Brock Thomas outperformed depth chart expectations at Oregon spring game; height only limitation for Power Four role.

- Jordon Davison multi-year IMG Academy starter; strong key-and-diagnose ability for linebacker position.

- Payne, Riley, Meadow proven; Compton, Bol Bowen secondary pieces; Aristode, Easter, Johnson stepping up from limited roles—targeting 50%+ hit rate.

- LB: Oregon fans who've paid close attention know all about Dan Lanning's "growth mindset".

- Oregon WR play dictated spring DB struggles more than poor coverage; tough receiver group.

- CDL game-planning Cignetti's scheme; edge rushers and Dante Moore crucial.

- Four-game redshirt rule made five-for-five inevitable; NCAA should've extended framework to all sports proactively.

- Spring game showed O-Line formation alignments and positional assignments.

- Oregon's offensive line has several new bodies, so spring cohesion and the emerging two-deep are worth monitoring. - Struggles by the full two-deep in the spring game would not be an immediate red flag given the transition and the quality of the defense across from it.

- Oregon's right tackle projection hinges heavily on Janoris Wilson's health; if fully healthy, the discussion treats him as the likely answer there. - There is real uncertainty around Wilson's physical status, and the speaker framed that as one of the most important variables in building the offensive line projection. - If Pancho were unavailable for an extended stretch, Oregon's backup/replacement plan becomes a major question. - Tommy Tofy was described as the day-one right guard, while Dave Iuli was noted as another big, experienced offensive lineman in the room.

- OL: Oregon is the only college football team in the country to be a finalist for the Joe Moore Award in each of the last three seasons.

- OL/RB: O-Line success will dictate Running Back success.

- OL/LB: Playing as a unit is important for an OL to be successful.

- Oregon target Legarrette Blount Jr., son of the former Duck RB, is carving his own path.

- Offense: Nice recap on the offense!

- Offensive line anxiety high: center solid if Pancho healthy, LT promising (Crader), but LG/RT concerning after Saturday's performance.

- Dante's success depends entirely on offensive line performance this season.

- Dakorien talented; WR/TE talent spread could limit 1K-yard receivers, but multiple guys capable.

- DL: Erik - Good article, but please don’t confuse us further by referring to the other Anthony Jones who plays along the DL as a “tank”!

- Oregon D-line deeper than expected after portal additions in December.

- Defense: The front four is the best in the country, period.

- DL: Great post and follow up comments (except for one.) And I thought this was going to be about our defensive line.

- Intel: Indeed, the portal entries have been nearly devastating to the ballclub.

- Dan Lanning's program messaging impressive; contrasts with Dana's fan engagement approach.

- Intel: Interesting that Terry was effusive in his praise of OT Bennett's versatility and even described him as a Spring "bright spot." Perhaps his uninspiring SG performance (much like Benson's SG last season) didn't accurately...

- Birnbaum elevating runners around him; unclear if other football Ducks competed in track.

- Intel: They would make just as much starting it in August and running the playoffs through December.
