Oregon Football's week 1 game presents a major opportunity for the Ducks on the field, getting a chance to take down the defending national champion Georgia Bulldogs. In the recruiting space, there is potential for this game (even if it isn't a win) to help Oregon show players across the country that they're a progrum for elite recruits to consider.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by John Garcia Jr., director of recruiting for Sports Illustrated. He shares his insight from years of experience as to what it's like to recruit during a season, a logistical challenge that Dan Lanning and his new staff are now going to embark upon.

5-star QB Dante Moore is Oregon's highest-rated 2023 recruit, but 5-star WR commit Jurrion Dickey is perhaps the most important player for the Ducks to continue to recruit to keep him headed to Eugene. John also provides updates on 5-star DL David Hicks and 5-star ATH/EDGE Samuel M'Pemba, noting that the Ducks have a chance at both. Between those 2 and 5-star EDGE Matayo Uiagalelei, it's paramount the Ducks land at least one of the coveted defensive line prospects.
