2026 4-star defensive lineman Bott Mulitalo commits to Oregon

American Fork (Utah) Lone Peak four-star 2026 defensive lineman Bott Mulitalo has committed to Oregon.

The 6-foot-3, 260-pounder chose the Ducks over BYU, Utah, Arizona State and more than a dozen other offers. He was in Eugene on multiple occasions this year, including for the Ducks’ win over Ohio State, as well as a trip during the summer.

It was at that point Oregon made a huge impression on him.

“What stood out to me the most in Eugene was how much the coaches really loved the class of ’26 and how much they’re interested in the defensive line aspect of the team,” Mulitalo told ScoopDuck in July. “And my highlight while I was, there was probably the one-on-ones during the camp. I felt like me and the rest of the defensive line group already had chemistry, and it felt like family.”

Now almost exactly four months after that visit, he’s in the fold for Oregon, which holds the nation’s No. 1 class in the 2026 On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings.

The 6-foot-3, 260-pounder is the ninth commitment for the Ducks in 2026, joining five-star tight end Kendre Harrison — who committed on Nov. 30 — as well as top-25 prospect Kodi Greene, elite running back Tradarian Ball and the nation’s No. 2 defensive lineman Tony Cumberland, among others.

Mulitalo himself ranks as the nation’s No. 115 overall prospect and No. 11 defensive lineman in the junior class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
