The 2025-2026 College Football Playoff bracket is set and it’s time to go through each team and highlight prospects who could be potential targets for the Green Bay Packers in the 2026 NFL Draft.
During the 2025 NFL Draft, the Packers selected three players who competed in the 2024-2025 College Football Playoffs. Brian Gutekunst selected two Texas Longhorns and one Georgia Bulldog.
Could Gutekunst draft any Oregon Ducks? The Ducks have a handful of prospects on both sides of the ball who could be potential targets for the Packers during the 2026 NFL Draft.
A’Mauri Washington, DT
If the Packers owned a first-round pick, the leader in the clubhouse to be the pick would be A’Mauri Washington. The Oregon defensive tackle is powerful and has some twitch to his 6-3, 330-pound frame. He’s on the list because there is a chance he slides to the second round and maybe the Packers make a move to go get the run-stuffing defensive tackle who has some juice as an interior pass rusher. Washington enters the playoffs with four tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, 20 run stops and 17 pressures.
Alex Harkey, OL
A transfer from Texas State and Colorado, Harkey is Oregon’s starting right tackle. Harkey has started 23 games at right tackle and taken snaps at right guard and left tackle. Harkey is a strong run blocker. He’s a mauler who plays violently. A former tight end, Harkey has good movement skills to go along with that bully power. Thus far this season he’s given up zero sacks and 15 pressures.
Teitum Tuioti, Edge
Tuioti is a sturdy run defender who stands his ground and flashes violence in his hands. A former four-star recruit plays with nonstop energy. There is no off switch for the Oregon defensive end. Tuioti enters the playoffs with 13.5 tackles for loss, seven sacks, 39 run stops and 32 pressures.
Iapani Laloulu, C
Laloulu has started 26 games at center and one at right guard. He has the lateral quickness to shut down the door for gap shooters. He has a strong base and is able to stand up against power. He fires out of his stance and gets into defenders quickly. Thus far this season, Oregon’s starting center has given up one sack and six pressures.
Emmanuel Pregnon, iOL
A transfer from Wyoming and USC, Pregnon has started 36 games at left guard, 11 at right guard and one at right tackle. Pregnon is a downhill run blocker, who stays balanced on his feet and looks to punish defenders. He has quick feet in pass protection to shuffle against rushers. Over the past three seasons, Pregnon has given up zero sacks and 35 pressures (just three this season).
Bryce Boettcher, LB
The Oregon linebacker plays like his hair is on fire. He’s a psycho with the sideline-to-sideline quickness to be an impact player at the next level. Boettcher has 559 special teams snaps to his name and nine tackles. Boettcher enters the playoffs with four tackles for loss, one sack, one interception and 35 run stops. With his relentless energy and athletic profile, the Oregon linebacker could be the next linebacker that Gutekunst targets if they are unable to lock up Quay Walker.
Isaiah World, OT
A team is going to talk themselves into taking World on Day 2 of the draft. World looks the part at1 6-5, 321 pounds and has impressive movement skills with powerful hands. A transfer from Nevada, World has started 38 games at left tackle and nine games at right tackle. With his experience playing both tackle spots and his tools, it would not be shocking to see the Packers select World if he fell to them in the fourth round.
Matayo Uiagelelei, Edge
Uiagelelei plays with relentless energy off the edge for the Ducks. He’s a physical presence who sets a firm edge against the run. At 6-5, 270 pounds, he looks the part. The Oregon defensive end comes into the playoffs with 8.5 tackles for loss, five sacks, 41 pressures and 16 run stops.
