IMG Academy 2026 offensive lineman Keenyi Pepe is one of the hottest names in recruiting circles for the 2026 class. The USC Trojans are getting after the Bradenton (Florida) prospect.
The 6-foot-6, 280-pound offensive tackle has excellent size. That’s why Pepe was named as a top-100 prospect for the class of 2026. Pepe was also rated as the No. 19 overall player nationally and the No. 4 tackle in the class.
Pepe is originally from Southern California, growing up in Los Angeles. Both hometown schools, UCLA and USC, have offered the lineman.
The IMG Academy offensive lineman has offers from powerhouse schools: Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Florida State, Miami, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, USC and UCLA.
Michael Evans, the trainer for IMG Academy, had this to say:
“You can expect for him to continue to develop into nationally recruited athletes and eventually a five-star player,” Evans said. “He moved to IMG because he felt he would develop best there and play against the best for the next four years to better prepare them for college competition.”
