Alex Donno’s Canes Draft Breakdown

Canes insider Alex Donno breaks down the NFL Draft outlook for Hurricanes football, focusing on standout prospects Francis Mauigoa and Rueben Bain Jr.. Donno says it would be a dream scenario for the Miami Dolphins to land either player at pick 11, while also noting how draft discourse often shifts from praise during the season to nitpicking in the pre-draft process. He credits Mauigoa and Bain as foundational pieces in Mario Cristobal’s push to bring “The U” back to national relevance, and adds that Akheem Mesidor has first-round talent even if his stock may land slightly lower. Donno also offers thoughts on defensive back Keionte Scott and where he could fit at the next level.
