The Oregon Ducks are loaded with talent ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. With a heavyweight matchup between Oregon and Texas Tech brewing on New Year’s Day, scouts are sure to have their eyes set on several high-profile players as teams do battle in round two of the College Football Playoffs.
Here are the Oregon Ducks’ prospects that NFL scouts will have their eye on:
A’Mauri Washington, DL
PFSN Defensive Line Impact: 79, C+
Listed as one of Bruce Feldman’s “Freaks”, Oregon Duck DL A’Mauri Washington is a mauler on the football field to say the least.
He still has plenty of room to develop his technique, but the strength and length that he possesses allow Washington to shut down plays when given the opportunity.
Alex Harkey, OL (Tackle)
PFSN Offensive Line Impact: 78.8, C+
If you need a lineman that plays with a mean streak, then Alex Harkey is your guy.
He blocks with physicality and a tenacious style, which is sure to appeal to offensive coordinators.
Dante Moore, QB
PFSN Quarterback Impact: 85.9, B
Dante Moore has all the potential and tools to be the first quarterback taken off the board in the 2026 NFL Draft. His ability to throw from multiple arm angles, generate velocity, and display charisma on the field will entice scouts from teams in the top five that are Quarterback-needy.
Moore’s accuracy is solid on all three levels, but teams will be concerned with the limited starts in under three seasons at UCLA and Oregon.
Emmanuel Pregnon, OL (Guard)
PFSN Offensive Line Impact: 92.9, A-
With scouts still trying to figure out who the best pure guard in the 2026 class is, Emmanuel Pregnon’s name stands firmly in the mix among the top candidates.

Regarded highly for his quick first step and explosiveness off the snap, Pregnon can use the playoffs to prove to scouts why he should be the first pure guard off the board in the NFL Draft.
Isaiah World, OL (Tackle)
PFSN Offensive Line Impact: 82.2, B-
Oregon’s athletic offensive tackle Isaiah World has proven his worth as one of the top linemen in his class. His athleticism and power, combined with a 6-foot-6 frame, help World terrorize defenders in his way.
He’ll need refinement as a pass protector, but still projects as a potential 10-year offensive lineman in the league.
Jadon Canady, DB
PFSN Cornerback Impact: 85.4, B
Jadon Canady has all the makings of an NFL slot cornerback, which will entice teams in the middle rounds looking for a perennial 5-foot-11 lockdown corner on the inside.
When targeted this season among all Big Ten corners, Canady has allowed just a 40.8 pass rating.
Kenyon Sadiq, TE
PFSN Tight End Impact: 82.2, B-
Considered the TE1 of the 2026 class, Kenyon Sadiq, has pretty much every single box checked off to be at the top of his position.
As a route runner, he’s proven to be able to manipulate defenders and find soft spots in coverage to get the football. He’s got an excellent catch radius at 6-foot-3, which he uses to his full advantage one-on-one.
Matayo Uiagaleilei, EDGE
PFSN EDGE Impact: 81.8, B-
One Uiagalelei that teams in the NFL can bet on is Oregon EDGE rusher Matayo, the younger brother of Chargers third-string QB D.J. Uiagalelei. At 6-foot-5, the speed, power, and bend check off several boxes that scouts will look for to make an impact at the next level.

With a trajectory that’s only gone up in every season he’s been with the Ducks, Uigalelei has a chance to be one of the top EDGEs off the board.
Noah Whittington, RB
PFSN Running Back Impact: 79.6, C+
Coming back for his sixth season of college football did well for Ducks RB Noah Whittington.
Not a home run hitter by any means, Whittington will be an excellent complementary back at the next level, as he has developed well during his time at WKU and Oregon.
Teitum Tuioti, EDGE
PFSN EDGE Impact: 81.9, B-
Still just a junior, like his counterpart Matayo Uiagaleilei, EDGE rusher Teitum Tuioti has compiled two seasons of consistent tape and now projects to be an early-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft if he declares for the draft.
At 6-foot-3, Tuioti plays with a high motor and vigorous pursuit, closing in on ball carriers and quarterbacks with ease. With a strong playoff performance, there is a chance Tuioti will test for the NFL Draft and forgo his senior season.
