Big Ten football faces seismic changes as coaches push for a 24-team College Football Playoff and the elimination of conference championship games.

STACKED: Oregon Ducks Defensive Line ASCENDS—Dante Moore & Jamari Johnson Set to SHINE for Offense May 06, 2026

Show notes

Oregon's defensive line was the star unit of the 2026 Spring Game. Depth was a question going into the game, and coming out those questions seem to have been answered.

On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin discusses expectations for Dante Moore's 2026 season. He should put up huge numbers with his array of weapons.

Oregon TE Jamari Johnson should be in for a big season as well. How much will Dante Moore rely on the Ducks' tight end compared to the depth of wideouts?

Oregon Ducks QUESTIONS Remain for Dante Moore's Offensive Line Following Spring Practice for 2026 May 05, 2026

Show notes

Oregon's offensive line didn't have a potential starting group together in the Spring Game against a monster defensive line. Two key question marks remain after Spring Ball.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin discusses Ohio State DB transfer Aaron Scott. Did he show enough in the Spring Game to have earned a starting role?

FOX Sports' Joel Klatt has Oregon as his post-Spring #1 team in the entire country. While that can be nervewracking, it is warranted in many respects.

Oregon, Dante Moore NEED Jamari Johnson to have BREAKOUT 2026 Season, Ducks' TE Should be Huge May 04, 2026

Show notes

Oregon's Jamari Johnson was picked by On3 as a potential breakout candidate going into the 2026 season. He is likely to be a safety blanket for Dante Moore.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin discusses what we might have learned from the TE room being featured on the latest 'Meet the Flock' episode. Who feels like the leader to be TE2?

Oregon's secondary has two big pieces to replace in DBs Dillon Thieneman (Bears) and Jadon Canady (Chiefs). Will that unit be just as elite in 2026?

Oregon had 7 players taken in the NFL Draft, following a record 10 selected in the 2025 Draft. Will Dan Lanning keep churning out this many selections each year?
