5-star OT Felix Ojo taking official visit to Utah

Mansfield (Texas) Lake Ridge five-star offensive tackle Felix Ojo is one of the top uncommitted prospects left on the board in the 2026 cycle. He’s already taken a slew of official visits as he works toward a decision.

An unexpected Big 12 program is now next up on his OV schedule. Ojo will head to Salt Lake City and log an OV with the Utah Utes this weekend, he tells On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

Ojo announced an offer from Kyle Whittingham and Co. earlier this month on June 2. Clearly keeping all avenues open, the 6-foot-6.5, 275-pounder is now set to see what the Utes have to offer.

Thus far, Colorado, Ole Miss, Texas Tech, Florida, Ohio State, Michigan and Texas have all had Ojo in for an official visit. The in-state Longhorns are currently trending for the five-star in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine.

Ojo is the No. 6 overall prospect and No. 3 OT in the 2026 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the top-ranked player in Texas.

To date, Utah has just five commits in its 2026 class: Lake Oswego (Ore.) three-star running back LaMarcus Bell, Hampton (Ga.) Dutchtown three-star quarterback Michael Johnson, League City (Texas) Clear Falls three-star linebacker Preston Pitts, Meridian (Idaho) three-star LB LaGary Mitchell and La Quinta (Calif.) three-star cornerback Major Hinchen.

Felix Ojo Scouting Summary

On3’s scouting and rankings team writes this of Ojo as a prospect:

“Developmental offensive tackle with the frame, length, and physicality to develop into a top prospect at the position. Measured in at around 6-foot-6, 275 pounds with plus length before his senior season. Has a lean, long frame and should be able to add considerable mass once in a college strength program. Pairs his long arms with outstanding hand strength to stun defenders on contact. Punch is palpable, both on film and in the camp setting. Latches onto defensive linemen and manipulates them to his will. Plays with a nasty edge, working to finish blocks.

…Flashes dominance as a run blocker. Play strength, length, and solid athleticism point to upside in pass protection. Showed considerable growth in his game from his sophomore to junior seasons. Will need to improve his lower body flexibility as he can play high and displays some hip stiffness. The youngest top offensive tackle prospect in the cycle, turning 18 years old in July prior to his freshman season of college football. Rapid rate of improvement and notable strengths give him one of the higher upsides among 2026 offensive tackles.”
