Miami offers 2028 4-Star OT Mataio Fano

Mataio Fano (2028), a four-star offensive tackle out of Orem High School in Orem, UT, reported an offer from Miami football on Wednesday.

The 6-foot-4, 240-pounder’s offer list is already loaded with top programs, including BYU, California, Michigan, and Utah, meaning the Hurricanes will likely have to make up ground to land the talented prospect. As he continues to develop, Fano will likely aim to add weight to compete in the ACC.

The offensive tackle is rated as a four-star prospect and currently ranks as the No. 59 overall player in the 2028 class, the No. 2 prospect in the state of Utah and the No. 7 offensive tackle nationally.

Mataio is the younger brother of standout Spencer Fano, a former Mario Cristobal recruit, who is expected to be an early NFL Draft pick.

I don't think he is 240 anymore and he is a sophomore in HS at this very moment. He is a take for certain

if he isn’t 270 or bigger is he still a take ?

Spencer almost went further from home, and it looks like Mataio could be the one that breaks the family tradition. He is interested in several national programs, including Miami. He loves Mirabal, the development and told me he wants to come back soon.

It's early in Fano's recruiting process, but Miami is a program standing out, which is why he made the cross-country trek.

"Man, I love it. I love the state. This is beautiful. The tour was amazing. I love the head coach and [Mirabal]," Fano said. "It's up there right now. I'm loving it."

After the big zesty fiasco OT definitely becomes a big priority in 2028. Need to land two big timers, one being a day 1 ready to go level kid. Looks like we are laying a good foundation to do just that. Go Canes
