About this episode
Oregon's defense in 2025 was the best to date under Dan Lanning, including a shutout against Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl. Can they improve in 2026?
On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin discusses the career outlook of 2026 4-star LB Tristan Phillips. His jabs at Husky fans are not all there is to like about the Ventura, CA native.
Dan Lanning enters year 5 with arguably his most talented roster to date on paper--who is the best player he's coached so far? Plus, Spencer wraps today's show with a sprinkle of Oregon trivia.
