As Dan Lanning continues to build a national championship-caliber roster in Eugene, the trenches remain an ever-important piece of the puzzle. 



Hoping to expand on Oregon’s No. 1-ranked 2026 recruiting class, Lanning hit the road Tuesday to visit Baltimore Georgetown Prep Five-Star Plus+ offensive tackle <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/immanuel-iheanacho-236385/">Immanuel Iheanacho</a>. Lanning was joined by OL coach A’lique Terry and defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi.



Iheanacho is the nation’s No. 2 overall prospect in the 2026 cycle according to the <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/industry-player/football/2026/">On3 Industry Ranking</a> — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is the No. 2 offensive tackle in the class and the top-ranked recruit from the state of Maryland.

Near the end of December, Iheanacho named Oregon as his new No. 1 school. 



“Oregon is my new No. 1, but Georgia is right there at No. 2,” Iheanacho told On3’s Steve Wiltfong on Sunday at the Under Armour All-America hotel check-in.



It’s been a steady push from Lanning, offensive line coach <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/coach/alique-terry-133861/">A’lique Terry</a> and the Oregon staff, who got Iheanacho to Eugene this summer



“I like coach Terry, coach Lanning, really young coach, they’ve been winning games and have products — <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/penei-sewell-96006/">Penei Sewell</a> and they’ve got some other guys coming up in this draft,” he said.



“I just love the whole dynamic, the whole campus at Oregon, the practice fields, how the weight room is set up, I love the strength and conditioning coach down there, it was straight love when I got down there. The gear is amazing, that’s not the most important part, but the gear is amazing.”
