<\/p>\n
Mauigoa had a back issue that was flagged during his medical examination at the Combine, so this is an opportunity for him to get some additional testing done before the draft.<\/p>\n
Rapoport adds that this is not expected to lead to Mauigoa dropping the draft, even though it was a source of discomfort last year.<\/p>\n
Mauigoa is thought to be one of the top offensive linemen in the draft and could end up being a top-five pick when as all is said and done.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mauigoa, 20, was the second-ranked tackle and the sixth-ranked player in the 2023 recruiting class out of Bradenton, Florida. He committed to Miami and played three seasons there, winning All American honors his junior season.<\/p>\n
In his collegiate career, Mauigoa appeared in 42 games over three seasons with the Hurricanes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
