Oregon left tackle Isaiah World’s knee injury during the Ducks’ Peach Bowl loss to Indiana was significant.
According to The Athletic, World suffered a torn left ACL in the first half. He missed the second half of the game as the Hoosiers beat the Ducks for a second time during the 2025 season on their way to the national championship.
In addition to World, offensive lineman Dave Iuli was also forced to leave the 56-22 loss due to an injury. Oregon also entered the game very thin at running back after Jordon Davison suffered a broken collarbone in the team’s Orange Bowl win over Texas Tech.

World has been viewed as a potential Day 2 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. He’ll probably miss much, if not all of training camp ahead of his rookie season and, likely, the start of the 2026 season.
He was a second-team all Big Ten selection among media members in his only season with the Ducks. World transferred to Oregon to solidify its offensive line after spending his first four seasons at Nevada. He became a starter early in his redshirt freshman season with the Wolf Pack and was named an honorable mention member of the All-Mountain West team in each of his last two seasons at Nevada.
World was one of 319 players invited to the NFL scouting combine later this month despite the injury. After going undefeated during the 2024 regular season before losing to Ohio State in the Rose Bowl, Oregon’s only two losses of the 2025 season came to Indiana.
