Dorian Mausi

PRO: The Titans claimed Dorian Mausi off waivers from the Minnesota Vikings during final roster cutdowns prior to the 2025 campaign. The 6-foot-1-inch linebacker is a rangy and athletic player who will look to use his sound tackling ability to find a role on Titans special teams and in the linebacker corps. Mausi played four years at Duke (2020-23) before transferring to Auburn for his final collegiate season.
