Oregon Tackle Isaiah World Has ACL Surgery, Will Skip Combine Workouts as Draft Stock Slides

Evaluations now hinge on medical findings as franchises consider a mid-to-late Day 3 investment.

Overview

  • Oregon’s starting left tackle tore the ACL in his left knee during the Peach Bowl against Indiana just before halftime and did not return.
  • He had surgery in early February, according to reporting from The Athletic’s Dane Brugler.
  • He will not participate in on-field drills at the NFL Scouting Combine, with availability limited to medical re-checks, interviews, and up to 30 team visits.
  • Analysts now project him as a mid-to-late Day 3 selection after earlier assessments placed him in Day 2 contention.
  • The Nevada transfer earned second-team All-Big Ten honors in 2025 at Oregon, though scouts flagged inconsistency versus top opponents and the injury could slow his early NFL availability.
