ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter reported he has a herniated disk in his back, a factor teams evaluated leading up to the draft.<\/p>\n<p>Despite that, analysts view him as a plug-and-play lineman.<\/p>\n<p>Listed at 6-foot-6 and 325 pounds, Mauigoa brings extensive experience at right tackle with a powerful frame, strong hands and the ability to anchor in pass protection. His footwork also gives him the versatility to potentially move inside to guard.<\/p>\n<p>With three first-round selections, Miami once again is well represented on draft night.<\/p>\n<p>The Hurricanes have a long history of producing NFL talent. <\/p>\n<p>At least one Miami player has been selected in 51 consecutive NFL drafts, a school record.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/southfloridamovingguides.com\/?p=499\">With 9 games left, Panthers coach Paul Maurice shares injury updates<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\ud83c\udfe0 News From Your Neighborhood<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>Latest headlines from:<\/div>\n<div>\nMiami-Dade<br \/>\nBroward<br \/>\nFlorida Keys<\/p>\n<details>\n<summary><span>Cities<\/span><span>\u25be<\/span><\/summary>\n<div>\n<div>\nMiami<br \/>\nFort Lauderdale<br \/>\nCoral Springs<br \/>\nDavie<br \/>\nDeerfield Beach<br \/>\nDoral<br \/>\nHialeah<br \/>\nHollywood<br \/>\nHomestead<br \/>\nLauderhill<br \/>\nMiami Beach<br \/>\nMiami Gardens<br \/>\nMiramar<br \/>\nPembroke Pines<br \/>\nPlantation<br \/>\nPompano Beach<br \/>\nSunrise<br \/>\nTamarac\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three Miami Hurricanes are projected to be first-round selections in the 2026 NFL Draft, led by a dominant defensive front and a potential cornerstone offensive tackle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":504,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-505","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
