Jersey Numbers Announced for New Oregon Ducks as Spring Practice Begins

The Ducks returned to the practice field on Thursday for their first practice of spring football.
In this story:

The Oregon Ducks began spring football on practice on Thursday on a cool morning in Eugene.

Dan Lanning's team returns a number of talented veterans, but Thursday's practice also featured plenty of new faces both from the high school ranks and the transfer portal.

With Oregon losing multiple key starters from a season ago--mainly along the offensive line, some of the new arrivals will find themselves playing big roles for the team sooner rather than later as we get going in 2023.

Here are the jersey numbers for the Oregon Football's newest arrivals.
