Throughout the week, members of Oregon’s coaching staff will provide insights into Spring Ball practices and discuss the 2025 roster, which features 30 newcomers (10 transfers and 20 incoming freshmen).

Upcoming Events for Oregon Football:

Thursday, March 13 – Spring Practice No. 1 & Dan Lanning Speaks

Spring Practice No. 1 kicks off Thursday morning. After practice, Oregon coach Dan Lanning will speak to members of the media and answer questions regarding Oregon’s 2025 roster. It will be the first time hearing from Lanning since he signed his newest contract.

The 2025 season marks Lanning’s fourth season as Oregon’s leader. In just three seasons, Lanning has turned Oregon into a national championship-contending team while simultaneously dominating on the recruiting trail, bringing world-class talent to Eugene.

In his first season with the Ducks, Lanning lost three games, in his second season two, and last season just one. If this pattern continues, Lanning could very well experience an undefeated season as well as bring home the program’s first national championship.

Lanning’s path to securing Oregon’s first football national championship doesn’t start in August, rather, it starts now as the Ducks push for improvement in Spring Ball.

Oregon has already broken its record for the number of players invited to the NFL Scouting Combine with 12 total invitees. Now, the Ducks are on track to break their program record for most Ducks drafted. The current record for most Ducks drafted was eight last year, but that number could very well increase this year.

On Tuesday, multiple former Ducks will return to Eugene to participate in a series of drills, tests, and evaluations in front of NFL scouts and coaches.

While an official list of participants has yet to be released, projected first-round pick Josh Conerly Jr. as well as receiver Traeshon Holden have confirmed to Oregon Ducks on SI’s Olivia Cleary that they will be in attendance.
