PODCAST: Koloi Keli Flips Commitment From Cal to Oregon
Oregon got some very important reinforcements in the trenches earlier this week when A’lique Terry and the Ducks secured a commitment from 2026 3-star Honolulu (HI) Farrington interior offensive lineman Koloi Keli, who flipped his pledge from the California Golden Bears.
Keli was the first 2026 offensive lineman to commit to Oregon since Kodi Greene chose the Ducks in August. He’s since flipped his pledge to Washington and offensive line remains a top priority for Oregon as the staff prepares for possible departures from a significant portion of the 2025 starting offensive line.
Relationships played a big role in Keli’s decision to commit to Oregon, as he’s incredibly close with current center Iapani ‘Poncho’ Laloulu, who also attended Farrington. Terry also has strong ties to the state of Hawaii due to his coaching days at University of Hawaii at Manoa before returning to Eugene and joining Dan Lanning‘s coaching staff.
On the latest episode of the Ducks Dish Podcast, ScoopDuckOn3’s Max Torres breaks down the Keli commitment and what it means for Oregon.

Keli is the first, but won’t be the last offensive lineman for Oregon in the 2026 recruiting class. Keli was one of two Cal offensive line commits that made their way out to Eugene for official visits last month, as 4-star San Francisco (Calif.) Archbishop Riordan offensive lineman Tommy Tofi also took an official visit with the Ducks. He announced his de-commitment from Cal on Monday.
Oregon’s class has 11 verbal commitments and ranks No. 11 nationally by the On3 Industry rankings.
