5-star OT Felix Ojo sets July 4 commitment date

The Fourth of July will now witness another massive commitment. Mansfield (Texas) Lake Ridge five-star offensive tackle Felix Ojo told Rivals’ Hayes Fawcett on Monday evening that he will reveal his college decision on Friday.

Florida, Michigan, Ohio State and Texas will have hats on the table.

Ojo is the No. 6 overall prospect and No. 3 OT in the 2026 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the top-ranked player in Texas.

The 6-foot-6.5 trench monster has taken a slew of official visits this summer. Along with his four finalists, the likes of Colorado, Ole Miss and Texas Tech were in contention for his pledge earlier this year. The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine currently favors the in-state Longhorns.

When speaking with Rivals’ Chad Simmons last week, Ojo tabbed two teams at the top of his recruitment:

“Texas and Ohio State are up there. Florida and Michigan are right behind those two. With Texas and Ohio State, I like those schools a lot. They have grat coaches, great programs and I feel I can be developed at both schools.”

Felix Ojo Scouting Summary

Rivals writes this of Ojo as a prospect:

“Developmental offensive tackle with the frame, length, and physicality to develop into a top prospect at the position. Measured in at around 6-foot-6, 275 pounds with plus length before his senior season. Has a lean, long frame and should be able to add considerable mass once in a college strength program. Pairs his long arms with outstanding hand strength to stun defenders on contact. Punch is palpable, both on film and in the camp setting. Latches onto defensive linemen and manipulates them to his will. Plays with a nasty edge, working to finish blocks. Flashes dominance as a run blocker. Play strength, length, and solid athleticism point to upside in pass protection. Showed considerable growth in his game from his sophomore to junior seasons. Will need to improve his lower body flexibility as he can play high and displays some hip stiffness.”
