He's 6-6.5, 345, a five-star offensive tackle ranked the No. 16 recruit in the nation who squats over 600 pounds and gets straight A's.
Immanuel Iheanacho is the real deal, a two-time Under Armour All-American who chose Oregon in a tough recruiting battle with LSU, Penn State and Auburn, committing to the Ducks on July 3rd. Today he officially signed, a relief for fans who follow offensive line recruiting.
What's unique and crucial about Nacho is his physical readiness and maturity. He's not just big and strong he's agile, a high school basketball player with long arms who fits the NFL prototype for an offensive tackle.
Development and need make Iheanacho signing crucial for Oregon
He stuck with Oregon, he said, because of the track record of development that made Josh Conerly a first-round draft pick. Offensive line coach A'lique Terry has molded three straight units into Joe Moore Award finalists.
The 2025 group has powered an 11-1 season and propelled the Ducks toward a home playoff game, but it's a senior laden two-deep. Isaiah World, Alex Harkey, Matthew Bedford and Charlie Pickard are all seniors; center Poncho Laloulu is a draft-eligible junior.
Terry needs to rebuild his o-line and Iheanacho is a solid, massive building block.
