The 2023 season is behind us. While there is still a bowl game to be played — the Fiesta Bowl against the Liberty Flames — Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks are working hard on the construction of their roster for the 2024 season. They are hitting the transfer portal to fill holes ahead of the team’s first season in the Big Ten Conference. While they work on bringing new players in via the transfer portal, we want to look at the future breakdown of each position, detailing current players on the roster, incoming recruits and potential targets on the market right now.
So far this offseason, we’ve broken down the future of the quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends. Now let’s focus on the offensive line.
Coming into the 2023 season, the inexperience of the Oregon Ducks’ offensive line stirred doubts about how Oregon’s offense would fare. Quickly, that doubt was cast away. The Ducks’ O-line looked like a unit that had been playing together for several seasons, and they were named a Joe Moore Award finalist.
There should be plenty of returners along the O-line for 2024, which is a great sign for an offense that will employ a new QB. Of course, there will be changes, but Oregon has plenty of OL talent waiting in the wings, and they’ve shown they have some of the best coaching in the nation.
Let’s look at the full OL breakdown for the Ducks and see what the state of the position is going forward.
