Francis Mauigoa is a densely-built, stout presence with very good play strength and square power to anchor and create movement on day one in the NFL. His adequate range in pass protection signals a classic quality collegiate tackle-to-guard convert in the mold of recent draft picks Jonah Savaiinaea and Steve Avila.
Mauigoa is a 6’6″, 335-pound tackle prospect, who entered the Miami program as a 5-star recruit in the 2023 class.
Mauigoa was a second-team All-ACC selection in 2024 after starting 13 games at right tackle. He was also an All-ACC freshman team selection in 2023 after starting 13 games at right tackle.
