A three-year standout and two-year starter for Oregon football, starting left tackle Josh Conerly Jr. officially declared for the NFL Draft Wednesday afternoon, opting to forgo his senior season in Eugene, in a prepared Instagram post.
The junior lineman played 965 offensive snaps in 2024 after 901 in 2023 and allowed just two sacks over the last two seasons combined, per Pro Football Focus. Conerly anchored an offensive line that was named a Joe Moore Award finalist — given to the nation’s best offensive line — in each of the last two seasons.
Conerly projects as a Day 1 or 2 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, which begins April 24 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
