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?

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. Spencer breaks down where he will fit into the rotation for the offensive line 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.

Oregon's defense had one of its better games of the year and the offense came through when needed against the Tar Heels, resulting in a true team victory for win #10 this season. Part of the allure of bowl games is the individual players who earn more playing time due to opt outs, and Oregon had several players stand out heading into the offseason.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at a bevy of players who may have earned themselves playing time heading into next season with their performance in the Holiday Bowl on Wednesday. Several of those standouts came on defense.

With future NFL cornerback Christian Gonzales opting out of the game to prepare for the draft, a couple members of the secondary proved themselves capable going forward. Oregon also got a clearer picture at a couple of offensive positions with excellent performances as well

Oregon went into the 2022 Holiday Bowl as a double-digit favorite against North Carolina, and found themselves trailing at the half--and by 10 points in the fourth quarter. Thanks to late game heroics from Bo Nix and timely stops by the defense, Oregon picked up a 10-win season in a 28-27 thrilling victory over the Tar Heels.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin reacts to the final game of Dan Lanning's first year at the helm. There were great performances across the board, and individual ones like that QB Bo Nix made this an especially fun victory for the Ducks to enjoy and take into the offseason.

Not everything was perfect, however, as the offense sputtered for a long time in this game and the special teams continued to struggle. Thankfully, both have rather simple explanations as to why they were not up to the standard where Oregon needs them to be going forward.

Oregon Football still has one more game to play in 2022 in the Holiday Bowl against North Carolina from the ACC. After a disappointing end to the regular season, there are more than a couple things of note as the Ducks take on the Tar Heels.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at what to watch for in the 2022 Holiday Bowl. He starts by going through the most intriguing positions and players to watch who could earn playing time heading into Spring Football.

Playing for another 10-win season is perhaps the biggest thing on the line for the team in addition to ending the year on a high note. What else is the progrum trying to accomplish against North Carolina?

Dan Lanning has Oregon fans in a celebratory mood after being a big winner on National Signing day, and the number of new names coming to Eugene continue to pile up. What does the volume of recruits and transfers the Ducks are bringing in say about the state of the progrum?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin examines more fallout from Oregon's big national signing day on Wednesday. There could be a lot of changes for the Ducks next year, and we know there will be one more opening with Noah Sewell announcing he's declaring for the NFL Draft.

The transfer portal is still open and will be so until January 18th, and more Oregon players are likely to enter. Last year Dan Lanning was able to convince a couple players to stay after putting their names in, but this year that seems unlikely.

After missing out on 5-star QB Dante Moore, Oregon seemed to be losing a bit of momentum on the recruiting trail despite having a top-15 class (at the moment). Dan Lanning landed a couple of big defensive commitments, and a quarterback, that changes the recruiting mood for the better.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin goes through the biggest names Oregon landed on a crazy and flip-filled national signing day. 5-star EDGE Matayo Uiagalelei highlighted a lineup of commitments that have Oregon fans buzzing.

The biggest surprise was the flip of 5-star safety Kyle Bowen, who had previously been committed to Notre Dame. He and Uiagalelei both represent high-profile prospects at positions of need for the Ducks on the defensive side of the ball.

Bo Nix brings his talent and a fantastic first season back to the Ducks in 2023 whilst giving Dan Lanning stability (for a year) at the quarterback position. But his impact could be even more notable as Oregon looks to get back to the Pac-12 Championship game next year.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin goes into Oregon's latest addition in the transfer portal. What are the Ducks getting in Alabama transfer CB Khyree Jackson?

More players have entered the portal for the Ducks, including OL Dawson Jaramillo--a position the Ducks are looking to add in the portal. Plus, a final word--and confirmation--on why former 5-star LB Justin Flowe's career didn't live up to the hype.
