Spring football has officially arrived in Eugene, and on the latest episode of the Autzen Audibles Podcast, Matt Prehm, Erik Skopil, and John Evans dive into some of the biggest storylines shaping Oregon’s 2026 offseason. The crew opens the show by unpacking its biggest takeaways from hearing Dan Lanning meet with the media, including what stood out most about his early thoughts on the roster, leadership, quarterback development, and the overall tone surrounding the program as practice gets underway. From there, the conversation shifts into one of the most fascinating exercises of the spring: trying to project Oregon’s two-deep. On both offense and defense, there are a handful of spots that feel especially difficult to sort through right now, whether because of young talent, portal additions, position versatility, or unresolved competition heading into camp. Matt, Erik, and John each break down the spots that are toughest to call and explain where the biggest battles could emerge over the next several weeks. The episode wraps with a ranking of the Top 10 Oregon players entering the spring season, sparking debate about proven stars, rising difference-makers, and which Ducks are best positioned to shape the program’s ceiling in 2026.
