Oregon’s anchor in the middle: Iapani Laloulu is a high-floor, high-IQ center
Laloulu has grown into one of Oregon’s most dependable interior linemen, praised for his strength, awareness, and calm, communication-heavy style at center. In 2025, he was a Rimington Trophy finalist and drew national attention as a top-tier center, with PFF noting strong pass protection and very few pressures allowed, while Oregon’s offense continued to lean on his steadiness in the trenches. He looks like a fit for teams that value a mature, technically sound center who can stabilize protection and command the line more than wow with flash.
