From Farrington High School in Honolulu, Hawaii, the same school that brought the Ducks Rimington Award candidate at center Iapani "Poncho" Lalolulu, the Ducks have added a commitment from interior offensive lineman Koloi Keli.

Keli visited Oregon on June 20, took 10 days to mull over his options before decommitting from the Cal Bears.

When he was taking visits earlier this month he told Spartans Illustrated what he was looking for in a school. "A great campus, great culture, and a great football system," he said.

He makes the 11th commitment in Oregon's 2026 class and the first offensive lineman.

The Ducks are still working on a second flip from Cal, Archbishop Riordan tackle Tommy Tofi. Five-star 6-7, 340 offensive tackle Immanuel Iheanacho visited the Ducks that same weekend and he's down to a final four of Oregon, LSU, Penn State and Auburn, being recruited by first-round draft pick Josh Conerly.

All these moves are important, because a program needs depth and numbers on the offensive line.

Koloi had offers from Michigan State, SMU, Utah and the Bears, an earth mover with good feet. He shows good leg drive, strength, mobility and persistence. He's focused in his drill work and determined to win every rep.
