College Career Summary

Isaiah World is one of the most fascinating "late-bloomer" prospects in the 2026 class. After redshirting at Nevada in 2021, he became a 35-game starter for the Wolf Pack, earning two All-Mountain West Honorable Mentions. Entering the transfer portal as the #1 rated overall player by 247Sports, he moved to Oregon for the 2025 season to replace first-round pick Josh Conerly Jr.

At Oregon, World faced the ultimate litmus test: transitioning from the Mountain West to the Big Ten. He responded by becoming a Second-Team All-Big Ten selection and a key component of a Ducks offensive line that contended for the Joe Moore Award. His 2025 tape showed a significant jump in technical polish, specifically in his hand usage and recovery athleticism, vaulting him into the first-round conversation.

• Competitor: Fierce; known for an aggressive "mean streak" in the run game.

• Durability: Elite. Started 49 career games; an absolute "Ironman."

• Injury History: Medically clean.

Attributes (.20) — Grade: 90/100

• Run Block: Plus; natural strength creates massive displacement on down blocks.

• Pass Block: Strength. Reactionary athleticism is top-tier for his size.

• Strength: Plus; effectively kills speed-to-power attempts.

• Technique: Improved; hand-fighting is much more disciplined after 2025.

• High Motor: Relentless; often seen finishing blocks 15 yards downfield.

Athleticism (.20) — Grade: 95/100

• Speed: Surprising; elite range as a lead blocker in wide-zone schemes.

Scouting Report

• Strengths: Rare "prototype" frame (6'8") with WR-level foot speed; elite experience level (49 starts); exceptional at mirroring speed rushers; natural leverage and "sink" to stop bull rushes; high-ceiling developmental profile.

• Weaknesses: Occasionally plays with high pad level due to height; hand placement can still drift wide; struggled against elite SEC/Big Ten "bend" in isolated reps (Penn State tape).

• Scheme Fit: Ideal for Wide-Zone or Pass-First offenses (e.g., Rams, 49ers, Dolphins).

• NFL Comparison: Cam Robinson / Mike McGlinchey.

Scout's Final Word

"Isaiah World is the definition of a 'Canvas Prospect.' You simply do not find 6-foot-8 humans who move with this level of lower-half fluidity. He answered every question about his level of competition by dominating in the Big Ten. While he is still refining his punch timing, his floor is a 10-year starter and his ceiling is an All-Pro blindside protector. Draft Projection: 1st Round (Top 15)."
