The New York Giants certainly hope that their offensive line is stable in 2025.
Whether due to luck of the draw and how the draft board fell or by a conscious decision to concentrate on other positions, the Giants didn’t add an offensive lineman in the draft until selecting Marcus Mbow in the fifth round.
Mbow was considered a steal that late in the draft, but the jury is still out on where he will ultimately play. It’s possible that the Giants could still find themselves in need of a long-term answer at right tackle with Evan Neal moving to guard (and in the last year of his contract) while Jermaine Eluemunor is on the wrong side of 30.
If so, the Giants could look to one of the newest Oregon Ducks, Isaiah World.
World transferred to Oregon from Nevada for the 2025 season and could be one of the top tackles in next year’s draft. World is an intriguing prospect with a great combination of length, athleticism, and bloody-mindedness, and he certainly bears watching this year.
(World is the Nevada left tackle wearing No. 70.)
World is a long and athletic lineman. He features quick, light feet which combine choppy steps with smooth steps. He always seems to be balanced in his pass sets, ready to redirect, mirror speed or anchor against power. World is a tall lineman, but is also a natural knee bender who’s consistently able to drop his hips and lower his pad level to meet power rushers.
He has adequate play strength when playing with good leverage and maintains his balance through contact. He also has good grip strength and does a good job of sustaining his blocks for as long as necessary. And in that vein, World also has excellent competitive toughness and a definite nasty streak in his play. He keeps his head on a swivel to look for work, fights to sustain his blocks for as long as possible, and tries to finish with his opponent on the ground when the opportunity arises.
World appears to be an adequate run blocker right now, with the upside to improve significantly with coaching. He has the athleticism to stress defenses when flowing laterally in zone blocking schemes, as well as get into position quickly as a puller or when working up to the second level. Likewise, his nasty streak and good leverage allow him to at least gain positioning on defenders and seal off running lanes on man-gap runs.
The biggest issue for World is his play strength. He isn’t weak, per se, but he definitely needs to maintain leverage against defenders. There were too many instances in his tape of him being driven back if his hips rise. And while his athleticism and competitive toughness let him “lose slow”, he isn’t able to really stop power power without good leverage.
He is listed at 6-foot-8, 309 pounds, and while he does have an athletic build for an offensive lineman, World does appear a bit lanky. He could gain muscle mass as he continues to mature physically.
World could also stand to be a bit more aggressive with his initial punch. He should also work on improving his accuracy when blocking at the second level.
Balancing aggression with his hands while also being more accurate could be a difficult balance to strike and a long-term project. However, doing so could make World a devastating blocker in space.
Isaiah World has the potential to be a real riser after transferring from Nevada to Oregon. The Ducks have done a good job of churning out quality offensive linemen of late, and World fits what they want to do well. He should get good coaching in Eugene, and another year of physical maturity should help him.
World may never be a road grader at offensive tackle, however his movement skills and flexibility could take him far. World has the skill set teams tend to look for at left tackle, and it’s pretty easy to see him as a first round talent with a good year of development.
Mojave (Nev.) head football coach Wes Pacheco announced on Sunday morning that he’s stepping down from his position, according to a social media post.
Pacheco announced his resignation after six seasons at the helm of the Rattlers, putting together a 29-22 overall record from 2020-2025.
“I have officially stepped down as Head Coach of the Mojave Football Program,” Pacheco said in his social media post. “Thank you to Principal Cole for giving me the opoortunity make an impact on the lives of Mojave Student-Athletes. I am grateful and blessed to have labored through a 6-year journey of successes, failures, life lessons, character building and growth with the student-athletes myself and my coaching staff have served. I will forever love my Mojave Family, the Mojave Community and believe in the notion that SUCCESS can be attained by showcasing character, treating everyone with respect, and always have the courage to dream big and trust that “ATTACKING THE HARD WORK” & “HIGH MOTORING EVERYTHING” can yield SUCCESS that you want to achieve in life!”
During Pacheco’s half dozen seasons leading Mojave, his best record came in the 2024 season when the Rattlers finished with a 12-1 record. Located out of North Las Vegas, Mojave had to compete against the likes of national high school football powerhouse Bishop Gorman during the regular season.
Mojave ended the last season with a 4-6 record and as the state’s No. 23rd ranked team, according to the final 2025 Nevada High School Football Massey Rankings.
Mojave High School, located in North Las Vegas, NV, is a dynamic public high school that fosters academic excellence, personal growth, and community involvement. Home of the Rattlers, MHS offers a wide range of academic programs, athletics, and extracurricular activities. With a strong commitment to student success, Mojave emphasizes leadership, college and career readiness, and a supportive school culture that prepares students for life beyond graduation.

A recent Review-Journal letter to the editor mischaracterized Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto’s Southern Nevada Economic Development and Conservation Act, also known as the Clark County Lands bill. As the former executive director of the Nevada Conservation League, I wholeheartedly support this legislation, so I wanted to set the record straight.
Sen. Cortez Masto has been working on this bill for years in partnership with state and local governments, conservation groups like the NCL and local area tribes. It’s true that the Clark County lands bill would open 25,000 acres to help Las Vegas grow responsibly, while setting aside 2 million acres for conservation. It would also help create more affordable housing throughout the valley while ensuring our treasured public spaces can be preserved for generations to come.
What is not correct is that the money from these land sales would go to the federal government’s coffers. In fact, the opposite is true.
The 1998 Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act is a landmark bill that identified specific public land for future sale and created a special account ensuring all land sale revenues would come back to Nevada. In accordance with that law 5 percent of revenue from land transfers goes to the state of Nevada for general education purposes, 10 percent goes to the Southern Nevada Water Authority for needed water infrastructure and 85 percent supports conservation and environmental mitigation projects in Southern Nevada. This legislation has provided billions to Clark County and will continue to benefit generations of Southern Nevadans. Sen. Cortez Masto’s lands bill builds upon the act’s success.
So here’s the good news: All of the money generated from land made available for sale under Sen. Cortez Masto’s bill would be sent to the special account created by the 1998 law. Rather than going to an unaccountable federal government, the proceeds would continue to help kids in Vegas get a better education, bolster outdoor recreation and modernize Southern Nevada’s infrastructure.
I know how important it is that money generated from the sale of public land in Nevada stay in the hands of Nevadans, and so does the senator. That’s why she opposed a Republican effort last year to sell off 200,000 acres of land in Clark County and other areas of the country that would have sent those dollars directly to Washington.
Public land management in Nevada should benefit Nevadans. We should protect sacred cultural sites and beloved recreation spaces, responsibly transfer land for affordable housing when needed and ensure our state has the resources it needs to grow sustainably. I will continue working with Sen. Cortez Masto to advocate for legislation, such as the Clark County lands bill, that puts the needs of Nevadans first.
