History

Armand Membou was born on March 27, 2004, he attended Lee’s Summit North High School in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. As a four-star recruit, Membou received offers from several notable schools including Kansas State, Kansas, Oregon, Iowa State, Nebraska, and Missouri. He ultimately committed to play for the Missouri Tigers in 2022.

During his time at Missouri, Membou appeared in 24 games with 18 starts over his first two seasons, primarily playing at right tackle and allowed only three sacks. In 2023, he was a full-time starter on the Tigers’ offensive line, which was recognized as a semifinalist for the Joe Moore Award, an accolade for the nation’s top offensive line unit. Heading into the 2024 season, Membou was named to Bruce Feldman’s “Freaks List” for his exceptional physical attributes and exceptional strength. His performance was highlighted by his ability to handle top-tier SEC pass rushers, with a record of allowing very few pressures and no sacks in his last season. He left Missouri allowing only three total sacks in three seasons, nearly exclusively at right tackle.
