Cody Mauch is an American football offensive tackle for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League (NFL). He played for the North Dakota State Bison in college.
Mauch decided to utilize the extra year of eligibility granted to college athletes who played in the 2020 season due to the coronavirus pandemic and return to NDSU for a sixth season. He was added to the watchlist for the 2022 Walter Payton Award midway through the season.
He was named first-team All-MVFC and a second-team All-American by the Associated Press after starting all 15 of NDSU’s games as the Bison again won the FCS national title.
Mauch was selected by the Bucs with the No. 48 overall pick in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
