Good news: Oregon commit crucial key man commitment at IOL at Oregon

With Alai Kalaniuvalu’s verbal commitment to the Oregon Ducks football recruiting class for 2025, the team has secured one of the top-rated prospects in its history at his position.

Kalaniuvalu is ranked as the No. 9 interior offensive lineman in the nation for the 2025 class and is overall ranked No. 176. His 247Sports player rating of 91 places him as the ninth-highest-rated prospect to commit to the Ducks among all offensive linemen. Among interior offensive linemen, Kalaniuvalu is the second-highest-rated prospect in Oregon’s history, only behind Penei Sewell, who was rated 96 as a guard but later moved to offensive tackle.

Kalaniuvalu outranks former Duck and NFL rookie Jackson Powers-Johnson, current offensive lineman Dave Iuli, and recently graduated three-year starter Steven Jones.

This week, the Ducks secured the commitment of the Las Vegas prospect over competing offers from Michigan, Utah, USC, and Nebraska.

247Sports’ Greg Biggins recently provided a scouting report on Kalaniuvalu, offering insights into the position he is likely to play for the Ducks.
