Isaiah World 2026 NFL Draft Scouting Report for Los Angeles Chargers OT

The Los Angeles Chargers are reportedly signing Oregon OT Isaiah World as an undrafted rookie free-agent, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Isaiah World is a tools-y, loose mover with an explosive first step and jarring hands. Those traits are overshadowed by too many quick, glaring losses due to an unrefined skill-set. World's combination of physical tools and flashes warrant a Day 3 draft pick, and he can work toward a role over the course of his rookie contract.

World is a 6'8", 318-pound tackle prospect, who entered the Nevada program as a 3-star recruit in the 2021 class before transferring to Oregon in 2025.

World started 49 career games at left (40) and right (nine) tackle, including 14 at left in 2025. He tore his left ACL in the team's playoff game against Indiana and had it surgically repaired in February of 2026.

Areas of Improvement
