OREGON’S QB FUTURE: Should the Ducks Leverage the Portal or Commit to High School Quarterback Plan? Feb 13, 2026

Show notes

Oregon has only started former transfer QBs in the Dan Lanning era from Bo Nix to Dante Moore this past season (sort of). Are HS quarterback recruits worth the time?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin discusses a potential breakout candidate on the defensive line. Can former top 50 recruit Elijah Rushing make a big impact?

Who was Oregon's offensive MVP in 2025? Dante Moore's breakout season makes him a compelling candidate for the award, can anyone realistically challenge him for that recognition?

Will Dan Lanning’s 2026 True Freshmen Actually Deliver on Their BIG Expectations? Linebacker Talk Feb 09, 2026

Show notes

Oregon's 2026 recruiting class could have some chances to make an impact despite a veteran-heavy roster in the Fall. Can they live up to the 2025 class' impact?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin discusses the LB room after losing Bryce Boettcher following 2 great seasons. Could a true freshman see the field in the rotation?

EDGE Nasir Wyatt was an impact player when he was on the field in 2025. He is likely to see a much larger role in 2026 to support Matayo Uiagalelei and Teitum Tuioti.
