Oregon has pulled in back-to-back top 10 recruiting classes nationally, and that is poised to continue as they enter the Big Ten.
Recent history suggests they must maintain that standard if they are to be national championship contenders next season in addition to this year.
On today’s episode of Locked On Ducks, I also talk about breakout candidates on Oregon’s defense.
One member of the defensive front and one in the secondary are under-the-radar names that the defense needs to play well to succeed.
Oregon’s special teams cannot be overlooked to win games as they go into the Big Ten this year, is Oregon good enough on that front?
Plus, a look at what the future of LT Josh Conerly could be after this season and whether he’s bound to go to the NFL.
