Spring football is almost here, and for Oregon, the next few weeks will go a long way in shaping just how high this team can climb in 2026. In the latest episode of the Autzen Audibles Podcast, we break down the biggest spring storylines facing Dan Lanning’s program, using Erik Skopil’s list of the 10 Ducks who need to step up as our guide. From Dante Moore’s continued development and the pressure on newly promoted coordinators Drew Mehringer and Chris Hampton, to the importance of Oregon’s retooled offensive line, transfer additions, pass rush production and defensive depth, there is no shortage of intrigue. We dive into which players and position groups matter most, what has to be answered over 15 spring practices, and why this spring could determine whether Oregon merely stays very good or becomes a true national title threat.
