REPORT: Oregon Predicted to Land Two Uncommitted 5-star Offensive Lineman

Oregon signed a very strong offensive line class in 2025, and in 2026, they already have 5-star Kodi Greene committed. However, there are still some big fish out there in the 2026 class, and Oregon has been predicted to land two 5-star offensive line prospects. If the Ducks can secure even one of these elite tackles, their offensive line class could be the best in the country.
The first one is 5-star offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell. Rivals' Adam Gorney recently wrote an article predicting where the top uncommitted offensive linemen will land, and he has Cantwell choosing Oregon. Cantwell is a 6’7.5, 300 pound tackle from Nixa High School in Nixa, Missouri. Oregon has been one of his top schools for a while, but Gorney believes the Ducks currently have the edge. Cantwell is ranked inside the top three nationally and is unanimously considered the No. 1 offensive tackle in the 2026 class.
Landing Cantwell would be huge, but you know what’s even better? Adding another 5-star offensive tackle. Gorney also projected Oregon to sign 5-star offensive tackle Immanuel Iheanacho. Iheanacho is a 6’6.5, 345 pound tackle from Georgetown Preparatory High School in Rockville, Maryland. He named Oregon his leader back in December, so this one might not be as much of a surprise as Cantwell. However, if Gorney is correct, this could easily be the best offensive line haul in history when combined with Kodi Greene.
Here’s the catch. There is almost no way Oregon lands both Cantwell and Iheanacho. It’s unlikely Oregon would use their NIL resources to sign two premier tackles, especially when Greene is already committed. Additionally, Gorney mentioned that both Cantwell and Iheanacho want to play left tackle in college, making it even more unrealistic for Oregon to sign both. For those wondering, Greene plays right tackle. While it’s unlikely that Oregon lands both Cantwell and Iheanacho, securing one of them alongside Greene is a very real possibility.
Even if Oregon only lands one of the two, it would still arguably be the best tackle duo in the 2026 class. Kodi Greene himself is ranked inside the top 20 nationally and is a top five tackle, so pairing him with either Cantwell or Iheanacho would be lethal. Time will tell how Oregon’s offensive line class finishes, but it’s shaping up to be one of the best in the nation.
