Scouting Report: Koloi Keli
Scott Reed, June 30, 2025
I think all will enjoy reading this scouting report from Scott Reed, now his new home at Ducks Sport Central. He writes in part:
"Koloi Keli might not turn heads immediately with eye-popping measurables, but once the tape rolls, it’s clear he’s one of the most physically dominant linemen in his class. At around 6-2 and 290 pounds, Keli has a naturally compact build that lends itself well to interior line play. His combination of foot speed, heavy hands, and nastiness stands out, and he brings a relentless attitude to every snap."
"Keli’s recruiting profile may not match the star-studded metrics fans often obsess over, but he’s a “stock-up” prospect with a high ceiling. His blend of quick feet, strong hands, lateral agility, and finishing mentality makes him a true enforcer in the trenches. With continued development and a move inside, he could become a long-term starter and culture-setter for Oregon’s offensive line."
further reading in this scouting report he also talks about Keli’s Run Blocking, Pass Protection, Technique and Tools, Physicality and Mentality, Projection.

Tommy Tofi decommits; Oregon Ducks circling
And there are significant rumblings that more help is on the way.
On Monday, the first of those dominoes fell, as former California pledge and Farrington (Hawaii) three-star lineman Koloi Keli flipped to the Ducks.
He may not be alone.
Prediction: Tommy Tofi to Oregon Ducks
Shortly after Keli's announcement, Archbishop Riordan (California) four-star offensive lineman Tommy Tofi, a powerful 6-6, 335 offensive tackle tweeted (deleted and re-posted) a decommitment from Cal.

N.RIVALS.COM
Tommy Tofi - 2026 4 Star Offensive tackle for Riordan (San Francisco, CA) on Rivals.comThat news comes roughly three weeks after the nation's No. 6 interior offensive lineman took an official visit to Eugene.
After his early June surprise commitment to Cal, the rumblings began almost immediately that Dan Lanning's program would remain a big-time threat.
That buzz continued into the weekend and gained significant steam - with the now-widely reported decommitment of Tofi as a potential nail in the coffin.
All signs point to Tofi eventually committing to Oregon.

Bryson Beaver explains Oregon commitment, new 'Platypus' nickname
The 6-foot-3, 200-pound signal-caller is one of the highest-risers at any position in the country thanks to his performances at the Elite 11 Regionals and Finals.
On this week's "Recruiting with Andrew Nemec," on ESPN-affiliate 1080 The Fan, Beaver joined the show to discuss his sudden rise up the rankings, how he decided to go to Oregon and how he has suddenly earned the tongue-in-cheek nickname "Platypus" from the Oregon coaching staff.
Listen to Bryson Beaver’s interview.

No Gophers on the list. Be aware and beware of this Friday night trap game, the Friday after playing the previous Saturday in Iowa City, and with the Gophers coming off of a bye.
Gophers are on the list. Sorry, I should have taken the one off and only kept the one that shows all the schools, instead of having both.

Meet Bryan Seeley, the man in charge of policing the new world of college sports
The revenue share era of college sports has arrived. Paychecks from schools will start to land in players' bank accounts this week. The endorsement deals that the CSC will need to vet are already pouring in. As he attempts to run an organization responsible for bringing order to a chaotic industry, Seeley has a long to-do list: hire a staff, establish investigative processes, determine fair punishment standards and build relationships across hundreds of schools and dozens of sports.
Seeley finished the previous week by returning his office equipment to Major League Baseball after a decade of rebuilding and overseeing their league investigations department, which handled high-profile issues such as gambling, sexual misconduct and sign-stealing scandals on his watch. At his new job he's back to square one, which means his top priority last Monday was scrolling through Wirecutter, a product recommendation website, for advice on buying a new laptop.
"This is a startup," Seeley told ESPN during an interview at the end of his first day. "It's not like I'm walking into nothing, but in many ways this is a true start-up."

Oregon has landed a nice commitment out of the state of Hawaii on Monday morning.
The Oregon Ducks have gone to the state of Hawaii and have flipped a commitment from the California Golden Bears' 2026 recruiting class. Offensive lineman Koloi Keli has decided and announced on social media that he will be playing for the Ducks over the Bears. Keli was offered by Oregon back in May but committed to the Bears a few weeks later. The Ducks never gave up and it's now paid off in a big way.
