Felix Ojo

Physical Profile

Listed at 6-6, 275 lbs. Taller than 42% and heavier than 20% of 2026 Offensive Tackle prospects in the SEC Scouts database (182 with a listed size).

Play Style

On film he is a pass-first, athletic left tackle. He sets with patience, mirrors well, and uses his length and a strong punch to control rushers before they get to his frame. In the run game he is better on the move than as a straight-ahead drive blocker. He wins on reach and down blocks and at the second level with angles and effort rather than raw displacement. He shows a physical streak and tries to finish plays into the ground. When he gets upright or overextends, stronger defenders can walk him back or knock him off balance, which shows his frame still needs to fill out.

Strengths

• Pass-set athleticism: easy, controlled kick-slide footwork and the range to get to the corner against speed rushers. This is the main reason he projects at left tackle.
• Length and extension: he gets his arms extended and uses his reach to keep rushers off his chest, which bought him margin against top-level competition at a 6A Texas program.
• Hand strength and punch: On3 notes 'outstanding hand strength' and a powerful punch that controls defenders at the line of scrimmage. His hand placement improved noticeably from his sophomore to his junior year.
• Finishing mentality: evaluators note a 'nasty edge' and that he looks to finish blocks with authority. That aggression is not a given in lean, athletic tackles.
• Movement in the run game: he can reach-block, climb to linebackers and pull on the move, which makes him a strong fit for zone blocking and perimeter screens.

Areas to Improve

• Play strength and mass: at roughly 272-275 pounds he needs 25-40 pounds of functional weight to hold his ground against college bull rushers and heavy defensive tackles. 247Sports notes his pop is 'still developing' in consistency.
• Pad level and bend: because he is higher-cut, he plays upright at times, which loses leverage in the run game and exposes his chest to long-arm and speed-to-power moves. He needs to sink his hips and show more bend more often.
• Consistency against power at the point of attack: he has improved at absorbing contact since his sophomore year, but anchoring against converted-power rushes is the swing skill between starting early and redshirting.

College Projection

He is a long-term starter at left tackle. Texas Tech paid for a potential day-one starter, and the recruiting coverage framed him as a possible freshman starter, especially if veteran tackle Sampson left early. Realistically, his first year (2026) is probably a rotational role or spot duty at the swing tackle spot while a college strength program adds mass. He should compete for a full-time blind-side job in 2027 if his weight gets to about 300 pounds with his movement intact. I could not confirm his 2026 in-season snap counts or starting status. The upside is a multi-year, all-conference Big 12 starter by year two or three.

NFL Outlook

He has an early-round NFL Draft profile. Height, wingspan, athleticism, punch and youth are the traits the league pays tackles for. He would be eligible for the 2029 draft after three college seasons, which matches the length of his guaranteed Texas Tech deal. His draft grade depends almost entirely on how he adds strength: if he gets to 305-315 pounds and plays with lower pads, he projects as a first- or second-round left tackle. If he stays lean and upright, he is more of a day-two right tackle or swing tackle.

Best Fit

A spread or zone-heavy offense that throws a lot and needs a true pass-protecting left tackle and athletic linemen who can reach, pull and block in space. That describes Texas Tech's up-tempo Air Raid-influenced system well. He also needs a proven strength and nutrition program and enough veteran line depth that he is not forced to anchor against power defensive linemen before his body is ready. A program that projects him to left tackle over three years, rather than moving him inside, gets the most out of his traits.
