Micah Mazzccua, a standout offensive guard for Baylor before entering the transfer portal, is headed to the SEC.
Mazzccua was a 3-star recruit out of St. Frances Academy in Baltimore and signed with the Bears, redshirting in 2020. In 2021, he played 9 times. In 2022, he emerged as a key member of the Bears’ offensive line, grading out as the 9th-best run-blocking guard according to PFF.
As you can see below, Mazzccua will head to Florida. He announced the news on his Twitter account on Tuesday evening:

Mazzccua chose the Gators over Auburn and Nebraska. Matt Rhule, the head coach at Nebraska, recruited Mazzccua to Baylor, and he committed shortly after Rhule’s departure for the NFL’s Carolina Panthers.
The offensive line was a major area of need for Billy Napier and the Gators. A pair of offensive linemen, Ethan White and Michael Tarquin, were among the players that entered the transfer portal, so Mazzccua represents a significant addition for the staff.
