Johnny Maea brings veteran Utah grit to the interior line
In the 2024 season, Johnny Maea played in 10 games for Utah on special teams and the offensive line, and by 2026 he’s listed as a senior, 6-foot-4 and 309 pounds, with experience and positional flexibility that coaches love[1][5]. He’s a sturdy, low-drama interior presence—more “reliable brick wall” than highlight reel—who adds depth, maturity, and Polynesian-watch-list pedigree from his earlier Utah career[11]. If a team wants a seasoned, battle-tested OL with room to compete for snaps and help stabilize the middle, Maea fits the bill[1][12].
