5-star offensive tackle Felix Ojo, a highly sought-after prospect in the 2026 recruiting class, is set to make his return visit to the University of Texas this weekend for the Longhorns’ Junior Day. Ojo, who hails from Mansfield Lake Ridge High School in Texas, has expressed significant interest in the program, and his upcoming visit is expected to further solidify Texas’ position in his recruitment.
Ojo, a rising junior, has quickly emerged as one of the top offensive tackle prospects in the country, impressing scouts with his impressive size, athleticism, and technical prowess. His ability to anchor in pass protection and dominate in the run game has made him a coveted target for college programs across the nation.
Texas has made a strong impression on Ojo, who has praised the program’s coaching staff, particularly offensive line coach/offensive coordinator Kyle Flood. Flood has built a strong rapport with Ojo, and his ability to develop elite offensive linemen has undoubtedly played a significant role in Texas’ appeal to the talented prospect.
“They flat out said and showed that I’m their No. 1 priority when it comes to linemen in the 2026 cycle,” Ojo told On3. “Texas is a top five school for me and I have high interest in them.”
Ojo’s upcoming visit to Texas will provide him with an opportunity to further explore the program, meet with coaches and players, and experience the unique atmosphere of the university. The Longhorns’ recent success on the field, coupled with their strong tradition of developing NFL-caliber offensive linemen, makes them an attractive destination for top prospects like Ojo.
While Ojo is still early in his recruitment process, his positive comments about Texas and his upcoming visit suggest that the Longhorns are a serious contender for his commitment. The competition for Ojo’s signature is expected to be fierce, with several other top programs vying for his services. However, Texas’ ability to secure his return visit and maintain a strong connection with the talented prospect puts them in a favorable position to land one of the most coveted offensive linemen in the 2026 class.
