Tommy Tofi

Physical Profile

Listed at 6-6, 330 lbs. Taller than 95% and heavier than 89% of 2026 Interior Offensive Line prospects in the SEC Scouts database (207 with a listed size).

Play Style

Tofi plays like a road-grader: a downhill, physical interior blocker who wins by striking with his hands first, then moving players with his lower body and finishing blocks. His best plays come on down blocks, double teams and gap-scheme runs, where his mass moves defenders off the line. In pass protection he leans on his anchor and length, absorbing contact and resetting rather than chasing defenders. The two-way recruiting interest suggests good balance and feel for leverage. The flip from Cal to Oregon came after he took official visits and compared how each staff would develop him, which fits a player focused on development.

Strengths

• Size and power that are ready for college now: 6-6 with 330-360 lbs of mass lets him win at the point of attack on gap and duo runs and anchor against power rushers without giving ground
• Unusual versatility: he repped at four different offensive line spots in Oregon's 2026 fall camp, and the staff has praised him as a player who can step in where needed, which is valuable depth when injuries hit
• Proven dominance in a good league: he was the 2025 California Lineman of the Year out of the West Catholic Athletic League, a strong Bay Area conference, and drew offers from Ohio State, Texas A&M, Florida, Miami, USC, Tennessee, Auburn and others
• Physically and mentally ready early: he was one of the standout newcomers in Oregon's spring practices and has pushed fifth-year senior Kawika Rogers for the left guard job, a strong sign of how fast he processes information and how hard he works

Areas to Improve

• Weight and conditioning: at about 360 he must keep his foot speed for Oregon's zone-heavy, up-tempo offense and hold up late in drives. Reshaping his body toward the mid-330s-340s should improve his range on reach blocks and his recovery in pass protection
• Pass protection against quick rushers: big interior players can struggle against quick, penetrating 3-technique tackles and twist or stunt games. He needs to keep refining his hand timing, how he passes off stunts, and staying low with his pads over a full game
• Consistent technique across positions: repping at four spots speeds up his development but can slow mastery of any one. Settling at guard should sharpen his footwork and help him reach the second level smoothly on combination blocks

College Projection

He is already contributing ahead of schedule. As a 2026 true freshman he is competing for the starting left guard spot and serves as flexible depth at multiple line positions. The realistic path is spot starts and a place in the rotation in 2026, a full-time starting job at guard by 2027, and a chance to become a multi-year all-conference interior lineman in the Big Ten. If his weight trends toward the mid-330s without losing power, he could also play right tackle in a pinch, but his long-term home is guard.

NFL Outlook

Legitimate NFL Draft prospect. NFL teams look for guards with 6-6 size, power at the point of attack and experience at several positions, and his ability to play multiple line spots adds to his value as a backup even before he becomes a full-time starter. If he starts two or more seasons at a high level at Oregon and shows the movement skills to handle wide zone, he projects as a Day 2 pick (rounds 2-3) with upside for more. The swing factors are his weight and his pass-protection consistency against quick interior rushers.

Best Fit

A Power Four program with elite strength and nutrition support and an offensive line coach who develops players, which is what Oregon offers under A'lique Terry. Schematically he fits best in a gap and duo run game (power, counter, duo) where he can down-block and pull, while still taking part in inside-zone concepts. A roster with veteran guards to learn behind is ideal, though at Oregon he may earn meaningful snaps as a freshman.
