This Saturday night at 4:15 p.m., Mario Cristobal hosts the fifth annual Saturday Live Camp at Autzen Stadium.
50-75 high school prospects will be there from the 2022, 2023 and 2024 classes, working out and getting coaching from the Oregon staff.

The public is invited. Admission is free. The concession stands will be closed but fans can bring food and drink. For safety's sake, no glass bottles are allowed.
For the players, it's an opportunity to get some topflight instruction while touring Oregon's facilities and getting to meet Duck players and their coaches.
For fans, it's a first look at some of the standouts in the 2022 Oregon recruiting class including acrobatic Texas wide receiver Stephon "Boogie" Johnson and powerful defensive tackle Sir Mells of Nevada.
Though not yet committed San Diego teammates Jalil Tucker and Jahlil Florence are two players to watch as well, agile Spidermen at cornerback. Both of them have run 10.7 in the 100 meters for Lincoln High School.
The quarterback group at SNL features 2022 commit Tanner Bailey from Gordo, Alabama and local product T.C. Manumaleuna of North Salem High, a 2024 prospect with advanced skills. He's from North Salem High. Though just a freshman, he's got a strong, accurate arm and tremendous promise.
With Kayvon Thibodeaux likely in his last season as a Duck, Oregon is shopping furiously for athletic pass rushers. The camp features two of the best in the West, San Diego standout Gracen Halton (already committed to UO) and Cyrus Moss of Bishop Gorman High in Las Vegas, Nevada (rumored to be announcing soon.)
The offensive line group is highlighted by 6-5, 330-pound guard David Iuli of Puyallap, Washington, who pledged to the Ducks earlier this month.
It's a great show with drills and a passing scrimmage. Sunshine, Autzen Stadium and a chance to picnic with fellow fans while enjoying a cold beverage.
Several of Oregon's current players will be on hand to watch the event. For the kids, they may be able to get a coveted autograph or three.
From Steve Mims, formerly of the Register-Guard, here's a glimpse of the 2019 event:
