6-7, 290-Lb. Three-Star OT with NFL Lineage Committed to UCLA
Quinn Buckey, a 6-foot-7, 290-pound three-star offensive tackle from Liberty High School (Bakersfield, CA), stands out as a Class of 2026 prospect with rare NFL offensive line legacy, giving him an innate understanding of professional technique and intensity [1][7]. Ranked No. 74 among offensive tackles and No. 949 overall by 247Sports and On3 for the 2026 class, Buckey brings elite length, a powerful base, and a high-floor development trajectory as UCLA’s newest commitment [2][7]. His differentiator isn’t just size—it’s the pedigree: he’s the son of a former NFL player, which translates to advanced football IQ, relentless practice habits, and a calm, coachable personality under pressure [1]. With 12+ offers including from Michigan State and Oklahoma State before choosing UCLA, Buckey is a safe, high-upside fit for any team needing a modern, long-armed tackle who can grow into a multi-year starter [5][7].
