Honors & awards
2022 First Team All-Big Sky
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Gets pressures on inside stunts and was too explosive for college guards to handle.
  • Mapu will always try to plow into the largest piles and has a good knack of ending up glued to the ballcarrier.
  • He’s a capable blitzer with the ability to close quickly. He’s also very good in coverage, rangy with good awareness in zone coverage, and fluid and fast enough to run with most tight ends.
  • He’s very good in coverage when looking into the backfield in zone coverage.
  • He’s effective in pursuit when chasing down backs as a run defender, and Mapu has the athleticism to cover a lot of ground when dropping into coverage.
  • Accelerates rapidly and has a great feel for angles. Mapu isn’t huge, but he packs a pop.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Lacks the strength to blow up fullbacks and bulk/length to prevent getting engulfed by better linemen at the second level.
  • Mapu lacks the speed of a chase and- tackle guy. Mapu lacks twitch as a pass rusher and lacks the feet and flexibility to threaten around the edge.
  • Has lean limbs and needs to get stronger and add bulk to his frame.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
