When do the Oregon Ducks and every other Big Ten team start spring practice?

Another year with Dan Lanning, Dante Moore, and dozens of other beloved Oregon Ducks is about to kick off with spring practices.

What a glorious day it will be when Dan Lanning, Dante Moore, and the Oregon Ducks step back onto the football field in Eugene.

With March already upon us, that glorious day is less than two weeks away, as the Ducks prepare to kick off their spring practices in the middle of the month.

A few new faces, such as quarterback Dylan Raiola, safety Koi Perich, and others, have joined the Oregon roster since the Ducks lost to the Indiana Hoosiers in the College Football Playoff semifinals, and for the first time ever, fans are about to see them in green and yellow.

  • Camp opens: March 12

Of course, Lanning has adamantly refused to even consider getting rid of the Ducks' annual spring game, much to the joy of Oregon fans across the board. That means, this April, fans will flock to Autzen Stadium to see their favorite team in action, once again.

This year, the Ducks are scheduled to kick off their scrimmage at 1 p.m. PT on Saturday, April 25, at Autzen Stadium. Oregon isn't the only Big Ten team gearing up for its spring practices soon.
