Nebraska added more offensive line depth on Wednesday, picking up a commitment out of the transfer portal from Florida offensive guard Micah Mazzccua.
The guard announced on social media that he plans to attend Nebraska for his final season of collegiate eligibility.
Mazzccua spent one year with the Gators this past season after transferring from Baylor. He started at right guard for the Gators in 11 out of 12 games this past season. He totaled 743 snaps for the Gators in the 2023 season.
The Huskers had been involved with Mazzccua’s recruitment last offseason, with the lineman ultimately opting to transfer to Florida.
Before his lone season with the Gators, Mazzccua was a two-year starter at Baylor. He was viewed as a high-level run-blocker from the left guard position, ranking ninth among Power 5 guards with a 78.5 run-blocking score in the 2022 season. He also recorded 14 big-time blocks that season, according to Pro Football Focus, which was tied for second among all guards nationally.
While there was some though Mazzccua was likely to head to the NFL Draft, he will instead enter the portal looking for a new home. He had teased intentions of entering the portal during the spring earlier this year, but later deleted his tweet saying he would do so. He instead stayed and played through the year with the Gators.
He was ranked as the No. 108 ranked interior offensive lineman in the 2020 recruiting class out of Baltimore (MD) St. Frances Academy.
Mazzccua’s brother Maurice Mazzccua was a walk-on running back for the Huskers last season.
