On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin discusses potential names for the vacant defensive coordinator spot--if Chris Hampton doesn't wind up getting promoted. Plus, will QB Austin Novosad go with Will Stein to Kentucky? Oregon added a pair of new faces to their 2026 class in 3-star ATH Azel Banag and 3-star JUCO cornerback Trevon Watson.
