Revisiting Mahogany’s College Career
Mahogany redshirted his true freshman season at Boston College. He was named the Eagles’ starting left guard entering his redshirt freshman season and started all 11 of the team’s games. The offense rushed for 1,119 yards on the season with 11 rushing touchdowns.
That season, Mahogany started 11 games and was named second-team All-ACC as a redshirt sophomore. He played 682 offensive snaps and every offensive snap from Week 2 at Massachusetts (Sept. 11, 2021) to Week 10 at Georgia Tech (Nov. 13, 2021).
However, Mahogany missed his redshirt junior season after he suffered a torn ACL while playing basketball during the offseason. In 2023, Mahogany came back, started the entire season for the Eagles, and earned first-team All-ACC honors in a dominant showing.
He started all 12 regular season games at right guard and earned a 79.6 pass-block and 73.6 run-block grade by PFF. He was on the field for 814 offensive snaps and did not allow a sack or quarterback hit on 424 dropbacks. He played all offensive snaps in 10 of 12 games played and was named the ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week following a win over Virginia (Sept. 30, 2023).
Mahogany was part of an offensive line unit that paved the way for 198.8 rushing yards per game, which ranked 13th in the FBS and second in the ACC.
Mahogany’s Potential in the NFL
Pro Football Network draft analyst Ian Cummings said Mahogany could transition to center, but as a guard with left and right experience, he is a proven asset.
“Mahogany is one of the most aggressive attackers in the 2024 NFL Draft OL class,” Cummings wrote in his scouting report. “He buries defenders as a puller and a space blocker and has shocking — at times humorous — point-of-contact power and violence in tight spaces.”
