Dan Lanning has stressed that Saturday, April 23rd is not just the Spring Game for Oregon Football--but rather a day-long showcase of Oregon athletics that factor into recruiting in a major way. Several high-profile recruits, including 5-star DE Jayden Wayne (2023), are expected to be at Autzen Stadium this weekend. What other (potential) future Ducks will be on campus to see the first Spring Game of the Dan Lanning era?

On this episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by John Garcia Jr., the recruiting director for Sports Illustrated. They talk about the biggest names that will be in attendance this Saturday, and where Oregon stands in their recruiting process as they continue to build the Class of 2023. Over 20 high school recruits will be in attendance, including multiple 5-stars in next year's recruiting class.

Wrapping up the positional previews for the game this weekend, two defensive units remain to examine: Linebackers, and defensive backs. Noah Sewell, Jeffrey Bassa, and Justin Flowe headline a talented group of second-level players for Dan Lanning and Tosh Lupoi's defense. In the secondary, DBs Coach Demetrice Martin has talked about the positional versatility of guys like Trikweze Bridges and Bryan Addison--both have impressed through spring practice thus far playing safety. With a recent injury (not expected to be serious) to Dontae Manning, Duck fans will probably get a look at lesser-known CBs on Saturday like Avante Dickerson, Darren Barkins, and maybe even 4-star freshman Jahlil Florence.
