Oregon beat out Washington, amongst other schools, for 2024 4-star safety Kingston Lopa. The Ducks did more than just win a recruiting battle as they added a player at a position of need going forward.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Locked On recruiting insider Brian Smith. They discuss what Lopa could bring to the Ducks one day and also talk about WR Tyseer Denmark decommitting from the Ducks in favor of Penn State.

To "replace" Denmark positionally, Brian shares where Oregon stands with 2024 WR Ryan Pellum who will soon choose between Oregon and USC. The Ducks took 2 quarterbacks in the 2024 cycle with Luke Moga and Michael Van Buren, could they do the same in 2025 with Akili Smith Jr. as one of their QBs?
