Big, rising OT prospect whose size, rapid development, and Buford pedigree fit Arkansas’s line
Mubenga is a **high-upside offensive tackle** with SEC-ready frame size at 6-5 and 290 pounds, and his rapid rise is notable because he did not start football until high school after moving from Congo in 2017. He helped power Buford to elite team production, including an undefeated 13-0 run and an offense averaging 47.8 points per game, which suggests real functional value beyond recruiting buzz. Scouts and recruiting services view him as a strong national-level OT prospect, and his move from defense to offense points to natural adaptability and long-term development upside—good signs for Arkansas if they want length, growth potential, and a player who has already won at a high level.
