Oregon completed its fifth spring football practice Saturday, which is one more than the 2020 Ducks squeezed in before the pandemic shut everything down. Coach Mario Cristobal would still like to see a lot more before unveiling a quarterback depth chart. "Trying to get quarterback pecking order information out of me is like Fort Knox-type stuff," Cristobal said after Saturday's full-pad practice in Autzen Stadium. "So I'll hang onto that for a little bit longer and try to feed it out as it gets a little bit more clear." The "quarterback" of Oregon's secondary is already clearly defined.

Verone McKinley, a safety known for his thorough film study and knack for making big plays, is the leader on the back end of a defense that features All-American Kayvon Thibodeaux at the line of scrimmage and Isaac Slade-Matautia and Noah Sewell at inside linebacker. "I feel like I'm a general back there. I've got to be the guy," McKinley said. "I feel like I have that responsibility on my shoulders and I put it on my plate in order to make sure we're leading this defense." McKinley is a fourth-year sophomore after redshirting in 2018, earning freshman all-American honors from the Football Writers Association of America in 2019 and with eligibility frozen in 2020 due to the pandemic. During Oregon's 4-3 finish last season, the 5-foot-11, 196-pound McKinley was third on the team with 41 tackles. Slade-Matautia and Sewell finished with 45 tackles each. - Register Guard
