Felix Ojo is an elite five-star offensive tackle from Mansfield Lake Ridge (TX), rated the No. 1 OT in the 2026 class and a top-10 national prospect with a 0.9909 composite. A young-for-class prospect (July birthday) with prototypical left-tackle measurables and rare functional athleticism, he projects as a future blindside protector at the Power-conference level after committing to Texas Tech.

Physical Profile

Verified at 6-foot-6, 272 pounds post-junior season with 33 5/8-inch arms and an 81 1/2-inch wingspan — adequate-to-good length numbers that satisfy the threshold for an edge protector. He carries a lean, athletic build with obvious room to add 25-35 pounds onto his frame without sacrificing movement skill. The combination of height, length, and a still-projecting frame is exactly what programs covet at left tackle, and being among the youngest in his class means his physical ceiling has not been approached.

Play Style

Plays with the light feet and body control of a converted athlete, excelling in space — climbing to linebackers, executing pulls, and reaching defenders in the run game. In pass protection he relies on length and extension to keep rushers off his frame, and he competes with a finisher's edge. The current limitation is that his game is more athleticism- and length-driven than power-driven; the pop and anchor are works in progress, and his hands occasionally compensate by grabbing.

Strengths

  • Elite functional athleticism and movement ability for the position — fluid in pass sets, bends well, and shows the foot quickness to mirror edge speed; athleticism is on full display in pulling and climbing-to-the-second-level situations
  • High-end frame projection with verified length (33 5/8 arms, 81 1/2 wingspan) and a lean 272-pound build that profiles for significant good-weight growth, giving him a true left-tackle ceiling
  • Demonstrated competitive temperament — scouts noted a consistent mean streak in pads at the Navy Army All-American Bowl and a finish-with-authority demeanor, standing out physically and athletically despite being one of the youngest competitors there

Areas to Improve

  • Play strength and point-of-attack pop — still developing consistent jolt and anchor; needs to convert frame potential into functional power in a college strength program to handle bull rushes and long-arm power
  • Hand technique and discipline — placement has improved sophomore-to-junior year but he can still get grabby and inconsistent with refinement of strike timing and resets; tightening hands will cut down on holding risk

College Projection

Developmental-but-high-upside left tackle. Expect a redshirt or rotational first year focused on adding mass and strength, with a realistic path to a multi-year starting tackle by year two. His floor is a quality Power-conference starter; his ceiling is an All-Conference left tackle if the strength and hand development track with the athletic traits. Worth noting some industry skepticism that his evaluation leans on measurables over current tape — his college trajectory will hinge on translating tools into technique.

NFL Outlook

Legitimate NFL draft potential given the rare blend of length, age, and athleticism that translates to the next level. If the strength and technical refinement come, he carries Day 1-2 left-tackle upside; the swing factor is whether he develops the play strength and hand consistency NFL evaluators demand. Tools-based projection with a wide outcome band — tantalizing ceiling, real development required.

Best Fit

A program with strong offensive-line development and strength infrastructure that runs a movement-oriented, zone-blocking or RPO/spread scheme that weaponizes his athleticism on pulls, reaches, and climbs while buying him time to add functional power. A scheme that asks him to move and protect in space — rather than one demanding immediate gap-power mauling — maximizes his current strengths while his anchor matures.

Player Comparison

Myles Garrett Texas A&M • Cleveland Browns 88% match

Both prospects share elite physical dimensions at 6'6" 275 lbs with rare athleticism for their size, suggesting defensive end capability. Garrett was similarly ranked as a top-15 national recruit with a rare combination of size, speed, and motor that translates to game-changing ability. The elite recruiting profile and Texas pedigree mirror Garrett's path as a dominant force who leveraged superior physical tools into consistent production against top competition.
