Jacksonville Jaguars select Oregon G Emmanuel Pregnon with No. 88 pick in 2026 NFL Draft

The Athletic has live coverage of the 2026 NFL Draft.The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Oregon guard Emmanuel Pregnon in the third round with the 88th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on Friday.Pregnon didn’t even receive a recruiting ranking from 247Sports before starting his college career at Wyoming in 2020. He started 11 games during the 2022 season and transferred to USC the following spring. It took a little while for Pregnon to find his groove with the Trojans: He didn’t start the first game of that season but settled in midway through the campaign. In 2024, Pregnon started every game at left guard and routinely opened holes for a running attack that averaged 5.16 yards per game, which ranked No. 21 among Football Bowl Subdivision programs. He didn’t allow a sack that season, either.Advertisement
