On the Pat McAfee Show Manny Iheanacho said, "Oregon just felt right."

He cited Josh Conerly's first-round selection and A'lique Terry's coaching as two of his reasons for choosing the Ducks.

He's the No. 4 prospect in the country and the No. 2 offensive tackle, 6-7, 340. He squats 600 pounds, an honor roll student at Georgetown Prep in North Bethesda, Maryland.

The five-star left tackle chose Oregon over LSU, Penn State, and Auburn.

Iheanacho is Oregon's 13th commitment of the 2026 class, which stood at No. 17 immediately BEFORE his commitment. His pledge should rocket them back into the Top Ten, and Florida safety Devin Jackson is scheduled to announce in the next half hour, also trending to the Ducks.

With long arms, a wide, powerful body and exceptional work habits, Iheanacho is a prototypical left tackle, a worthy successor to first-round draft picks Josh Conerly and Penei Sewell.
