Bott Mulitalo Decommits from Oregon, Switches to Offensive Line

Four-star recruit Bott Mulitalo has decommitted from the Oregon Ducks and reopened his recruitment after deciding to switch positions from defensive lineman to offensive tackle. The 2026 prospect from Utah is now ranked as the No. 8 offensive tackle and No. 90 overall by 247Sports, indicating a promising future in his new role. His top contenders include BYU, Utah, USC, and Washington, with the Huskies reportedly making a strong impression on him during a recent visit. Mulitalo expressed his belief that playing offensive tackle offers him the highest potential for success, particularly in his goal of reaching the NFL. This decommitment follows a trend, as Oregon has also recently lost another high-profile recruit, raising concerns about their recruiting momentum. Despite the setback, Oregon maintains a strong pipeline of talent across both offensive and defensive lines.
