question from a recruiting non expert

[duckfan96]

So to my untrained eye it looks like Oregon has a really good class, except for interior D lineman. Is that correct? Maybe linebacker could be better? Curious what the experts have to say on this. Thanks in advance

Not much of an exist, but i can say that Oregon has struggled to recruit d-line for the past few seasons. Lanning seems to rely heavily on the transfer portal to fill those holes. Whether that's by design or necessity, only he really knows. It does seem like their are more quality d-lineman in the portal than there are other defensive positions, so it hasn't really been a major issue yet. As for linebacker, I'm not quite sure what's going on there. While the product hasn't been horrible, it has been somewhat underwhelming
