The Oregon Ducks kicked off spring practice on Thursday and Dan Lanning's group has big goals for the 2024 season. Armed with one of the best quarterback rooms and a promising defense, Oregon has the potential for a special year.
One of the fun parts of a new season is jersey number changes and we saw some today as Oregon Football released an updated roster to reflect offseason additions and departures.
There were two players from last year who weren't listed on the updated roster: senior offensive lineman Faaope Laloulu and redshirt sophomore offensive lineman Michael Wooten. Lanning noted after practice that Laloulu has taken on a student assistant role.
A few Ducks that return from a season ago opted to change their number, while the roster sees a huge influx of new players from the transfer portal and high school levels.
Read the list below to see who changed their number and what number each of the new Ducks will be wearing this season.
