Oregon Ducks offensive tackle Isaiah World will miss the NFL Scouting Combine after suffering a torn ACL in his left knee during the College Football Playoff semifinal against Indiana. The injury occurred in the second half of Oregon's 56-22 loss in the Peach Bowl on January 9, a source confirmed to ESPN.

World, who transferred to Oregon from Nevada for the 2024 season, was one of nine Ducks invited to the combine. The 6-foot-8, 318-pound tackle started all 13 games for Nevada last season and earned an 82.3 pass blocking grade from Pro Football Focus. He was just outside Mel Kiper Jr.'s latest top 10 list for draft-eligible offensive tackles and earned second-team All-Big Ten honors in his only season with the Ducks.

The combine runs February 23 through March 2 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. World's absence from the pre-draft showcase could impact his draft stock, as teams will have limited opportunities to evaluate his recovery progress before the April draft.
