Jon Feliciano (born February 10, 1992) is an American professional football guard for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Miami.[1][2]

Early life

Feliciano was born in East Meadow, New York. Jon’s father Rafael Feliciano, a former MTA bus driver is of Puerto Rican descent, while his mother is of Sicilian descent. Jon along with his Mom and younger brother moved to South Florida in the mid-90s. As a child, Feliciano was more interested in designing and playing video games and basketball than in football.

In the early 2000s, Jon and his family moved to Davie, Florida where he eventually enrolled at Western High School, playing basketball and football.

Throughout his adolescence, Feliciano’s mother’s battle with cancer, spotty employment, and his brother’s health challenges caused a great deal of financial and emotional strain on the family. In 2008, his mother returned to New York while Feliciano willingly remained in Davie to complete his high school career. Throughout these formative years, Feliciano dealt with periods of homelessness and hunger.[2]

Considered a three-star recruit and number 19 offensive guard by Scout.com, he was also considered a three-star prospect by Rivals.com and ranked as the 55th best offensive tackle in the nation.[3] Feliciano was also named to First-team All-Broward by Sun Sentinel.[3] Despite having received offers from the University of Akron, Florida International University and San Diego State University, to name a few, Feliciano’s heart was set on being a Hurricane. Encouraged by his best friend Sean Cole and accompanied by his coach Rashad West, Feliciano attended the 2008 University of Miami spring scrimmage with his highlight tape in hand. Catching the eye of coach Tommie Robinson, he was given a scholarship to play for the University of Miami.[2]

College career

Feliciano sat out his true freshman season, participating on the practice squad. Officially joining the team in 2011, he played in 10 games, starting eight of them. He finished that season with the overall grade of 84%. Feliciano allowed zero sacks on the season.[3]

In 2012, he started all 12 games at left guard. Feliciano anchored an offensive line that paved way for the third-best passing offense (295.4) and fifth-best total offense (440.2) in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). He closed the season earning All-ACC honorable mention from the ACSMA.[3]

Feliciano started all 13 games during the 2013 season, making 11 starts at left guard and two starts at right tackle. He once again helped anchor an offensive line that paved way for Hurricanes offense that averaged 425.8 yards of total offense and 33.8 points per game. Feliciano once again earned All-ACC honorable mention from the ACSMA.[3]

In May 2014, Feliciano graduated from the University of Miami with a bachelor’s degree in Human Resources Management.[4]

In his final season with the Hurricanes, Feliciano started 12 games, splitting time between left guard, left tackle, and right tackle. He made his final collegiate career start in the ‘Duck Commander Independence Bowl’ against South Carolina, helping lead the Hurricane offense to 422 total yards.[3]
