Film Analysis: 

Christian Mahogany is an, at times, dominant interior lineman who is next in line from the Boston College pipeline. A blend of size, power, and technique, Mahogany can overwhelm interior defenders with his hands and power to drive players away from the line of scrimmage. In the run game, Mahogany explodes off the line of scrimmage, where he immediately establishes his hands and wins the leverage battle—once his hands are latched, the rep is over. He is powerful and athletic enough to relocate 3-techs, disengage, and work up to linebackers. He’s a nasty finisher in space and can move a pile on short down-and-distances. 

In pass pro, Mahogany showcases a quick kick-step and a sturdy anchor against all types of skill sets. He has outstanding awareness to pick up stunts and twists as well as a sudden kick-step to slide and counter free runners. He’s rarely jolted off his spot and if a false step occurs, Mahogany is quick to re-establish anchor. He’s always looking for work if unoccupied. Versatile for any scheme. 

Concerns remain about playing over his feet at times, which leaves him susceptible to counters from more agile defenders. Penalties improved from 2020 (6) to 2021 (1) but he will occasionally tug a jersey if beaten off the snap. Athletes with explosiveness at the snap can shock him at the onset of his kick-slide, but will rarely result in a lost rep. 

Overall, Mahogany is an impressive interior lineman whose biggest hurdle was working back from a torn ACL in May of 2022. He has the potential to become a high-level starter at the next level.

Prospect Projection: Day 2 — Winning Starter

Exposures: Florida State (2023), Syracuse (2023), Clemson (2021), Florida State (2021), Missouri (2021)
