Mascoro a 6’5” 315-pound lineman, played at New Mexico State in Las Cruces, NM. The El Paso, Texas native is fluent in Spanish.

“I was immediately attracted to Mascoro because of his size,” said Law head coach Scot Maynard. “He has good strength at the point of attack. His college coaches emphasized his work ethic and intelligence.”

Mascoro played for the Aggies from 1999-2002. He is finishing his B.A. in Human Resource Management and Leadership Management.

Famaligi, a 6’3” 300 pound lineman, played at UT-El Paso from 1999-2002.

“I had Ariel for three years at UTEP,” said Law co-offensive coordinator Sam Garza. “He started all but two games in four years of college. He was a left tackle which is a key position for pass blocking. He originally started as a defensive lineman, and then shifted to offense. He has good quickness, a good base and is a very powerful player.”

Famaligi was an All-State wrestler at Bel Air High School in El Paso in the 275-pound heavyweight class in both 1997-1998.

The El Paso, Texas native is also fluent in Spanish and played against Mascoro in high school and college. He is majoring in English and needs three more classes to complete his degree.

Dennis, a 6’3”, 295 pound lineman, played four years of college football at Westchester University an NCAA Division II school in Westchester, PA from 1997-2001.

“I considered myself a smart football player,” said Dennis. “Coach Maynard told me he wants me to play center and I am excited about that. The center makes the line calls and is the captain of the offensive line. I am looking forward to providing leadership up front.”

Dennis worked out for the Pittsburgh Steelers and has attended camps with the Chicago Rush and Philadelphia Soul in the Arena Football League. He graduated with a B.S. in Kenisiology.

The Law opens training camp on Wednesday, March 17th.
