A former top transfer prospect who started 49 career games between Nevada and Oregon, Isaiah World fell to undrafted free agency after tearing his ACL in the playoffs and signed with the Chargers.
Isaiah World was considered one of college football's top offensive tackle prospects before a torn ACL in Oregon's playoff loss to Indiana knocked him out of the pre-draft process. The San Diego native signed with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent, giving the team a developmental tackle with starting experience once he is fully recovered.
Path to the league
World, a San Diego native who attended Lincoln High School, began his college career at Nevada in 2021 before transferring to Oregon for the 2025 season as the top-ranked transfer prospect in the country according to 247Sports. He started 49 of his 51 career college games, including 14 at left tackle for Oregon in 2025, and signed with the Los Angeles Chargers as an undrafted free agent after going unselected in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Career highlights
World earned second-team All-Big Ten honors in his lone season at Oregon in 2025. Scouts praised his rare size and athletic tools, with some evaluators drawing comparisons to NFL left tackles, though his tape also showed inconsistency that needs refinement at the next level.
2025 season recap
World started 14 games at left tackle for Oregon in 2025 and was named second-team All-Big Ten before his season ended early when he tore his left ACL during the team's playoff game against Indiana. The injury, surgically repaired in February 2026, kept him out of the NFL Combine and contributed to him going undrafted despite his talent.
