Three Things to Know About Oregon Offensive Line Prospect Emmanuel Pregnon (4-24-26):  https://www.si.com/college/oregon/football/emmanuel-pregnon-three-things-know-oregon-ducks-prospect

2026 NFL draft: Mel Kiper's favorite prospects by position (Emmanuel Pregnon, Oregon:  Pregnon started at three different schools. He started 11 games at right guard for Wyoming in 2022. Then, he started 25 games at left guard for USC from 2023 to 2024. And finally, he was a 15-game starter at left guard for Oregon last season. Add it all up, and Pregnon has allowed just seven sacks over 3,087 career snaps. If you watch one game of tape for Pregnon, check out the matchup with Iowa in 2025. Oregon ran for 261 yards at 7.3 yards per carry, and a lot of that was behind Pregnon's blocking. He sustains, gets to the second level and will physically overwhelm defenders on the inside at 6-foot-4 and 314 pounds. And Pregnon is solid in pass protection, with heavy hands and the ability to lock out defensive tackles. I wouldn't be shocked if he goes late on Day 1, but I'd safely say Pregnon is a second-round pick.)

Sources: Cardinals Targeting Edge Rusher at #3, With David Bailey and Ty Simpson in Play Later in Round 1 (Surprise first-rounders on the offensive line - I wrote an insider piece on the offensive guards last Saturday, mentioning Emmanuel Pregnon as well as Chase Bisontis, and pointed to Keylan Rutledge as the sleeper at the position who a team could select much earlier.Many will be surprised to hear that some teams have Bisontis and Rutledge ranked ahead of Pregnon. The basis for this ranking is that several franchises view Pregnon solely as a left guard, while many teams believe Bisontis and Rutledge can play left guard as well as the all-important right guard position. I mentioned the New York Giants as a team considering Rutledge at the top of Round 2, yet they have told people they believe he’ll likely be gone before they are called to the clock with the 37th pick. The chatter seems to be getting louder that Rutledge could end up in the bottom half of Round 1.)

2026 NFL Draft top offensive linemen (7. G Emmanuel Pregnon, Oregon:  Pregnon showed up to the combine and finished in the top two of both the vertical jump and broad jump. Why does that matter for an offensive guard, a position that literally never jumps in the game? It means that he has incredible explosions in his legs and hips and can generate an incredible amount of power. Couple that with big, strong hands, and this guy is an NFL-made guard.)

2026 NFL Draft preview: 5 interior offensive linemen that could interest Lions (4. Emmanuel Pregnon, Oregon - 6-4, 314. 5.21 seconds 40-yard dash (1.82 10-yard split).  Pregnon is an All-American who was one of the key reasons the Ducks were finalists for the Joe Moore Award as the nation's top offensive line. Pregnon has an NFL-ready frame with power and toughness. He can drive defenders in the run game and anchors well in pass pro.)

2026 NFL Draft: Ioane Expected Top 15, Pregnon and Bisontis Racing for OG2 and Rutledge as a Sleeper (After Ioane, Emmanuel Pregnon, and Chase Bisontis are neck and neck to end up as OG2, and both could land in the bottom half of the first round. The landing spot for both players is between selections 26 and 38, unless the Los Angeles Chargers pull a surprise with the 22nd pick.  The Chargers’ depth chart at guard is weak and could use an upgrade for this season, as well as moving forward. After cutting Mekhi Becton in the offseason, a story we broke at EssentiallySports from the Shrine Bowl this past January, the team extended Trevor Penning for one year ($4.5 million) and signed free agent Cole Strange (two years, $13 million). They will address the guard position in the draft; it’s just a matter of when.  Los Angeles individually worked out Pregnon, and he’s definitely a Harbaugh-type blocker, hence selecting him with the 22nd pick is not out of the question. The Chargers have also been taking a close look at Bisontis.  The next potential first-round spot for Bisontis is the Buffalo Bills at pick No. 26. People question whether Alec Anderson, whom the team signed in 2022 as an undrafted free agent, can hold up at guard for 17 games. In two seasons on the active roster, Anderson has started six games.  The New England Patriots like both players and are bringing in Pregnon next week for an official-30 visit, but they were blocked from bringing Bisontis to their facility due to time constraints the Texas A&M junior is dealing with. The Patriots signed Alijah Vera-Tucker to a three-year, $42 million contract in free agency last month. AVT is a talented but injury-prone guard, playing just 43 games over the five years he was with the New York Jets.  PVeteran Mike Onwenu mans the other guard spot and has been a terrific player in New England since being selected in the sixth round of the 2020 draft, but he is in the final year of his deal and carries a cap number of around $25 million this season..If Pregnon starts to slip, keep an eye on the Green Bay Packers. The franchise sent a ton of people to the Oregon pro day for Pregnon, and he’s been interviewing with the coaches recently. Jordan Morgan will kick out to left tackle for the Packers this season after Rasheed Walker signed with Carolina in free agency, and there are a lot of questions, if not concerns, about the guard position.  The Packers don’t pick until No. 52, which means they would have to trade up for Pregnon.)

A different kind of NFL Draft comp -- and they actually make sense (Oregon OG Emmanuel Pregnon: Cherno Alpha, Pacific Rim.  Speaking of guys that win with power, Emmanuel Pregnon is one of the strongest players in this draft class. When the Ducks wanted to move the ball on the ground via gap scheme runs, Pregnon was a master at moving people against their will. His ability to torque defensive tackles out of the way is what'll get him on the field early, and I think he could play early despite some issues with his range and lateral quickness. Keep him working in a downhill run game and play action, and he'll win.  Cherno Alpha is similar to Pregnon. They're here to move things against their will, without the frills of long-range shooting. Cherno Alpha is one of the oldest and heaviest Jaegers in the Pacific Rim world, but it's also one of the strongest and most durable units ever made. The Cherno Alpha unit has withstood a lot of damage but like Pregnon, they're built tough and produce a lot of raw power.)

2026 NFL Draft offensive line rankings: Deep class has several 1st-round candidates to protect your QB (9. Emmanuel Pregnon, Oregon:  A guard-only prospect with good length and big hands (11 inches at the combine). Pregnon has good upper body strength to latch onto defenders and use his length, but can get caught playing high and would preferably add to his lower body mass to help him sustain his blocks once he hits the NFL. His length is an asset in pass protection, but he can still work on bringing his feet with him as late moves can get him to fall off blocks. Overall, he looks like a player who can start at guard early in his career, but there’s a few technique things to refine so he can use his strength and length more consistently. — NT) (4-2-26):  https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/2026-nfl-draft-offensive-line-rankings-deep-class-has-several-1st-round-candidates-to-protect-your-qb-181924091.html


2026 Pro Day Notes: Emmanuel Pregnon Stands Out at Oregon, Corey Rucker Blows Up His Workout (Emmanuel Pregnon, rated as OG2 on my board, had a terrific day. He sat on most of his marks from the combine, but he did complete 32 reps on the bench press, then timed 4.84 seconds in the short shuttle and 7.73 seconds in the three-cone.  Two of the offensive line coaches on hand met with Pregnon, including those from the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings. Both commented on how terrific the big guard looked in position drills and how well he came across in interviews. They were impressed with the whiteboard work they did with Pregnon, and when pulling up plays from this past season, he was able to seamlessly recall not only his responsibilities on specific snaps, but also the duties of his teammates.  Presently, the expected range for Pregnon is between picks 25 and 42. Besides the Cowboys and Vikings, he also met with the Cincinnati Bengals on pro day and is getting a lot of attention from the Houston Texans and Seattle Seahawks, teams that both need interior offensive linemen.)

NFL Draft Prospect Emmanuel Pregnon Grabs Attention at Oregon's Pro Day (3-19-26):  https://www.si.com/college/oregon/football/nfl-draft-prospect-emmanuel-pregnon-grabs-attention-oregon-pro-day

TWENTYMAN: 6 pro days to watch this week (5. Oregon, Tues., March 17 - Who to watch: The most first-round picks in a single NFL Draft for Oregon is two (1972, 2013, 2015 and 2025). Tight end Kenyon Sadiq and safety Dillon Thieneman seem like locks as first-round picks this year. Guard Emmanuel Pregnon is hoping to make it three Ducks hearing their name in the first round. Showing off a little more quickness by getting his 10-yard split at the Combine (1.82 seconds) into the 1.7 range at his pro day certainly wouldn't hurt his stock, along with a good day in position drills.)

2026 NFL Combine results: 12 winners from the offensive tackle/guard group (Guards - Emmanuel Pregnon, LG, Oregon (6-foot-4, 314):  Pregnon is the top challenger with Bisontis for an OG2 spot, and while he excels in more of a GAP-oriented blocking scheme, that wouldn’t be an issue with new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing’s experience in this area. With a 1.82 10-yard-split and a 9.42 RAS, Pregnon displays power in everything he does. He presents a strong base, with a big, powerful first step, both when moving laterally or pulling. He aggressively attacks his edges, showing smooth dip-and-pull movement and a controlled angle slide. He’s a bit of a short strider, but that aids him in his punch, as he consistently delivers knock-back strikes.  At this time, I don’t know if I’ll value another guard inside the top 50 beyond Ioane, Bisontis, and Pregnon, but there were two guards that stood out as challengers to that thought process.)

10 Offensive Linemen Who Won the NFL Combine (Emmanuel Pregnon, IOL, Oregon:  Oregon guard Emmanuel Pregnon is 314 pounds with 11 inch hands. On tape, he utilizes those massive bear paws to latch on and dominate defensive linemen. Pregnon generates overwhelming power as a hard-nosed blocker who plays with toughness and a finisher's mentality.  Pregnon leaped a 35 inch vertical, tied for second-best among linemen (first among interior blockers). Pregnon's 9-foot-3 broad was another excellent result. The Ducks standout is a top-50 overall prospect in this class.) (3-1-26):  https://www.si.com/nfl/draft/onsi/news/10-offensive-linemen-who-won-the-nfl-combine

Stock Up/Down: OL (Stock up - Emmanuel Pregnon:  Pregnon's measurements could entice a team to pick him late in the first round. The 6-4 1/4, 314-pound guard possesses 11-inch hands and 33 5/8-inch arms. He exploded for a 35-inch vertical, which is a better mark than some wide receivers posted this year. His 5.21 40 time might not impress, but he was a smooth mover down the line during his run and in on-field drills. Pregnon's strong punch was on display during the workout, as well, showing functional strength in an excellent combine showing.)

2026 NFL Combine preview: 10 IOL prospects the Lions should be scouting (Plug-and-play guards - Emmanuel Pregnon, LG, Oregon (6-foot-5, 320):  Pregnon is a durable, well-built guard with power in core, firecracker hands, and a nasty finishing demeanor.  A fast-setting pass protector with a broad-based anchor, Pregnon uses leverage to his advantage, executes strong hand technique, and recovers with length and hand usage. He works well with his teammates, passing off stunts, but his average athleticism can cause him to lose angles when moving, and savvy defenders will use aggression against him.  In the run game, Pregnon is a reliable people-mover who latches and drives downhill with a finisher’s mentality. He consistently gets inside hands and is a technical puller, but average foot quickness leads to average lateral movement overall.)

Senior Bowl 2026 Offensive Line Preview: Emmanuel Pregnon, Gennings Dunker Set the Tone (Emmanuel Pregnon, G, Oregon:  Though Penn State’s Olaivavega Ioane has seemingly clamped down the spot for best guard in the draft, Oregon’s Emmanuel Pregnon has a chance to make it a conversation at the Senior Bowl.  Pregnon has elite size (6’5″ and 318 pounds) for an NFL guard and incredible tape. He is regularly able to lift and unseat defenders in the run game with tremendous leverage, and he’s got a stout, impactful punch with good hand placement as a short-area pass protector. He had just one penalty in 910 snaps during the 2025 season, too.  The former transfer from USC got a bag from Phil Knight for a reason. Other than getting crossed over at times from being too aggressive with his punch, there just aren’t many holes in the prospect’s game.)

Emmanuel Pregnon, Oregon:  Though Pregnon ranks outside of the top five interior offensive linemen in the 2026 draft class, it’s worth noting that he’s one of just three linemen on this list who got placed in all three of PFSN’s consensus top ten lists. There’s a pretty clear consensus on him as a mid-to-late Day 2 selection in the 2026 NFL Draft.  A four-year starter between previous stints at Wyoming and USC, Pregnon is a polished guard prospect who’s just about seen it all. He’s a powerful lineman who packs a punch at the point of attack and lands his strikes accurately, pairing that placement with the grip strength to hold his ground. He keeps his pads low, and even though his athleticism is average, he has enough body control to block on the move. He projects well as a late Round 2 or early Round 3 selection.)

The 6-foot-4, 330-pounder has already declared for the draft. Oregon guard Emmanuel Pregnon and Auburn center Connor Lew could push into that range, too.)

Devon Dampier’s Sensational Bounce-Back Headlines Week 5 College Football Team of the Week (Offensive Guard of the Week: Emmanuel Pregnon, Oregon - Week 5 PFSN College Individual OLi Grade: 90.0 (B+).  The Oregon Ducks faced one of the most dangerous defenses in the country in Week 5, but Emmanuel Pregnon was imperious in protection for quarterback Dante Moore. The Oregon guard played 78 snaps and didn’t allow a single pressure, sack, or penalty, while using his strength to make a difference in the ground game.)

Matchups to Watch in CFB Week 5: Loaded Saturday Slate Highlighting Multiple Draft Prospects (Oregon OL vs. Penn State DL - It starts in the trenches, and the Oregon vs. Penn State clash is flush with front-line players who could soon take reps in the NFL. On the offensive line alone, the Ducks have four draftable prospects. Isaiah World is a sleeper to score Round 1 capital with his size and athleticism. Emmanuel Pregnon is a rangy people-mover at left guard.)

Which Transfer Portal Offensive Lineman Will Explode in the 2026 NFL Draft? These Transfers Are Instant Impacts in the Trenches (Emmanuel Pregnon, LG, Oregon:  Speaking of World’s teammate, Oregon has built quite a reputation for developing NFL-ready offensive linemen under Dan Lanning. According to Pro Football Reference, five offensive linemen were drafted out of Oregon during the Lanning era (2022-current).  Emmanuel Pregnon could join World as the next two to hear their names called in the 2026 NFL Draft.  Pregnon’s resume speaks for itself. After one year at Wyoming and two at USC, he’s accumulated 1,354 pass blocking snaps at guard while allowing just two sacks total. Even more telling, he hasn’t given up a sack in his last two seasons, including 2023 when he protected Caleb Williams, who had the 11th highest time to throw in the FBS.  The growth in his game shows up in the penalty department, too. After seven penalties in 2023, Pregnon cleaned up his technique and committed just one penalty in 2024.)

ESPN highlights several Oregon Ducks in 2026 NFL draft position rankings (Emmanuel Pregnon – No. 5:   Reid has Emmanuel Pregnon sitting fifth on his list of the top guards in the nation. He would likely be rated higher, but he is still a raw prospect who needs a little seasoning. He is incredibly nimble which is necessary for the guard position and is thought to have a high motor. The Ducks have a solid track record of developing offensive lineman, so there is no reason why Pregnon can’t follow that path.)

Ranking players 11-20 on Oregon's 2025 football roster (11. OL Emmanuel Pregnon:  Explanation: After losing both starting guards to graduation, the Ducks snared 247Sports' third-ranked portal interior lineman in Pregon. Pregnon was an All-Big Ten second-team selection and has experience battling in the trenches with the country's best. Slated as the team's left guard, the same spot he played at USC, the left side of the line should be plenty athletic with Pregnong playing beside Isaiah World.)

Transfer portal final ranking: College football's 100 best (27. Emmanuel Pregnon, OG Transferring from: USC | Transferring to: Oregon.  Background: Pregnon's decision to reenter the portal after two seasons at USC was a surprising one. The former Wyoming transfer started 25 games at left guard for the Trojans, and it looked like he was leaning toward going pro after accepting an invite to the East-West Shrine Bowl. But then Pregnon stayed with the Trojans through their bowl game and told coaches he was returning for 2025. The second-team All-Big Ten performer ended up going back on the market and is sure to be one of the highest-paid linemen in this cycle. -- Olson.  Scout's take: Pregnon is a physically impressive offensive lineman who combines great strength, power and leverage as a run blocker. He demonstrates good initial pop and drive, but he is not as technical in his hand usage or finish; he'll lose blocks when he lunges and doesn't bring his hips. In pass protection, he shows really good initial pop and can anchor. His footwork on sustained pass blocks can be an issue. If Pregnon can put it all together, he's an all-conference type of guard. -- Tucker.  What he brings to Oregon: The Ducks were looking for interior offensive line help and won a big-time battle for the No. 1 guard in the portal. Pregnon will be a plug-and-play starter with All-Big Ten potential for a unit that must replace senior starting guards Nishad Strother and Marcus Harper II. -- Olson) (5-14-25):  https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/45112485/college-football-transfer-portal-final-ranking-100-best

Emmanuel Pregnon chose to spend final season at Oregon to 'grow as a player' (4-22-25):  https://247sports.com/college/oregon/article/emmanuel-pregnon-oregon-ducks-football-transfer-portal-249124363/

Oregon Ducks To Have Three Transfers Start On Offensive Line? Preview (Redshirt senior left guard Emmanuel Pregnon is most likley going to be a starter on the offensive line for the Ducks. Pregnon, the transfer from USC, was the most fundamentally sound player on the Trojans offensive line last season. He started in all 13 games for USC and did not allow a sack the entire year. Pregnon saw 852 snaps at left guard for the Trojans last season.)

Carson Beck, Diego Pavia, Haynes King among sixth-year seniors to watch in 2025 college football season (Emmanuel Pregnon, OL, Oregon:  After signing with Wyoming in 2020, Pregnon opted out of his true freshman season due to the COVID-19 pandemic and then redshirted in 2021. He broke into a starting role in 2022 and performed well enough to attract some transfer interest from some of the top programs in the nation. He eventually enrolled at USC and spent two seasons at offensive guard, earning 2024 second-team All-Big Ten honors. He initially committed to the 2025 East-West Shrine Bowl, which indicated his interest in entering the NFL Draft process, but instead elected to transfer to Oregon for one more season.)
