Who are Oregon's top breakout candidates ahead of spring ball 2024?

We are less than 24 hours away from football making its long-awaited return to Eugene. The Oregon Ducks are set to kick off spring ball Thursday morning at the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex outdoor fields. After an encouraging 12-2 finish last season that ended with a Fiesta Bowl win over Liberty, Dan Lanning and the Ducks have received no shortage of buzz this offseason. Oregon lost a ton of talent from last year's squad to graduation and the NFL Draft. But it has also bolstered several key position players through the transfer portal and 2024 signing class. On the eve of the Ducks' opening day of spring ball, here are five returning players who could be posted for breakout seasons next fall.
