Scouting Report: Tommy Tofi


 

 

Tommy Tofi — Offensive Line — 2026 Commit to Oregon

Vitals:

  • Height: 6-foot-6

  • Weight: 335 pounds (recently checked in at 334)

  • Wingspan: 82 inches

  • Hand Size: Largest among all players at Rivals Five Star Camp


Athletic Profile

Tommy Tofi is a massive, two-way lineman who stands out immediately due to his rare size and imposing frame. At 6-6 and 335 pounds, he looks every bit the part of a future Big Ten trench anchor, yet moves with surprising fluidity and balance for a player his size. His agility shined at the Rivals Five Star Camp, where he showed light feet and rarely got beat in drills, a strong testament to his technical foundation and natural athleticism.

His lateral quickness and balance allow him to slide effectively in pass protection, while his enormous hands and long arms (82-inch wingspan) give him a powerful initial punch. Tofi’s physical tools project him as a potential high-level interior offensive lineman, but his length and movement skills suggest he could hold up at tackle as well — similar to the discussion around Penei Sewell early in his Oregon career.


Technical and On-Field Traits

  • Run Blocking: Tofi is a true mauler in the run game. He plays with a nasty edge and consistently finishes blocks, driving defenders off the ball and creating clean lanes. His punch at the point of attack is jarring, and he consistently manhandles defensive linemen — a reflection of both raw power and refined leverage technique.

  • Pass Protection: Shows above-average balance and lateral agility for a lineman his size. His wide base and natural anchor strength make it difficult for defenders to push him backward. While he’s primarily been used at left tackle in high school, his pass-set technique suggests he could slide inside at guard, where his frame and power would be maximized against interior rushers.

  • Versatility: Has lined up across multiple spots on the line and even played some defensive snaps (posting 28 tackles, 2 TFL, and a sack as a junior). That defensive experience reflects his athleticism and ability to handle space.


Developmental Trajectory

Tofi has leaned out and added athleticism over the past few seasons, an encouraging sign of his work ethic and upside. He’s still refining hand placement and maintaining lower pad level, but his continued physical development suggests the ceiling is extremely high. His combination of size, length, and athleticism is rare on the West Coast and is the type of profile that often ends up hearing their name called on NFL Draft day.


Recruiting and Context

Originally thought to be an Oregon lean, Tofi committed to Cal in part due to strong family ties — his older brother plays there, and the Bears staff (particularly Nick Rolovich) has done excellent work recruiting Polynesian athletes. However, Oregon’s relentless pursuit paid off, flipping him in a significant recruiting win that also underscores their family-centric approach.

Oregon’s pitch focused on a long-term developmental plan, including opportunities for his younger brother and a clearer path to achieving team and individual goals. The commitment is also strategic for Oregon as they build a Big Ten-ready offensive line that emphasizes physicality and depth.


Projection and Fit at Oregon

While Tofi could technically line up anywhere along the offensive line, the consensus is that his best long-term fit is on the interior — likely guard — where he can utilize his power and minimize the impact of edge speed. His ability to play tackle in a pinch adds crucial flexibility, giving A'Lique Terry and the Oregon staff valuable options as they construct future lines.

With Oregon aiming to take at least four offensive linemen in this class, Tofi’s commitment provides a strong foundation and could serve as a peer-recruiting catalyst for remaining targets like Immanuel Iheanacho and Kelvin Obot.


Summary

Tommy Tofi is one of the most physically gifted linemen in the 2026 class, combining rare size, reach, and athleticism with a punishing play style. His upside is immense, and he projects as a future multi-year starter with NFL potential. The Ducks’ ability to flip him despite family ties to Cal speaks volumes about their recruiting strength and strategic vision.
