The conventional wisdom is that it's impossible to mold a top-graded, effective offensive line out of a group of transfers, but that's exactly what A'lique Terry did.
Emmanuel Pregnon, Alex Harkey and Isaiah World were brand new to the team in 2025, transfers from USC, Texas State and Nevada, yet the Ducks offense cranked out 38.2 points a game and 7.08 yards per play in an 11-1 season, reaching No. 4 in the country with a week left to play.
Yesterday Pregnon made first team all-conference. The league's coaches named center Iapani Laloulu to the second team, while choosing guard Dave Iuli for third team honors. Big Ten media picked World as a second team selection. Harkey got honorable mention from both the coaches and the media.
'The Law Firm' still in line for the most coveted award
Unique among sports awards because it's given to a unit rather than an individual, the Joe Moore Award for the nation's best offensive line also stands out because the committee reviews film to identify the most deserving o-line rather than relying on conference affiliations, preseason ratings or stats.
The Top Ten.

In November the Oregon offensive line was named a semifinalist for the Joe Moore for the fourth year in a row.
Along with winning a playoff game and competing for a national championship, it's the big prize for this team. After that, Harkey, World and Pregnon begin training for the NFL draft. Pregnon is a potential first-rounder.
