Francis Mauigoa
Born in 'Ili'ili, American Samoa. Brother Frederick Mauigoa started 39
consecutive games at center for Washington State and spent time with the Panthers and Bengals.
Middle brother Francisco is a linebacker at Miami.
HIGH SCHOOL: Started his HS career at Aquinas HS in San Bernardino, California as a two-way
lineman. The pandemic sent him home to American Samoa, where he anchored Tafuna HS to an
undefeated championship season as a sophomore. Finished at IMG Academy (Bradenton, FL), the
premier national finishing school for elite recruits. Consensus 5-star, #1 OT in the 2023
class.
RECRUITING: Chose Miami over Alabama, Florida, Hawaii, Tennessee, and USC.
COLLEGE: Started all 13 games at right tackle as a true freshman — earned Freshman
All-America honors. As a junior in 2025: 1st-team All-ACC + consensus All-American + won the
ACC's Jacobs Blocking Trophy (best OL in the conference). Helped Miami reach the CFP National
Championship Game vs Indiana.
DRAFT PROJECTION: Round 1, picks 1-8. Cardinals at #3 are the logical landing spot. Key
question: can he flip from RT to LT at the next level?

College Career Stats
- 2023 Miami (Fr): All 13 starts at RT, Freshman All-American (multiple outlets)
- 2024 Miami (So): 13 starts at RT, 2nd-team All-ACC
- 2025 Miami (Jr): 14 starts at RT, 1st-team All-ACC + consensus AA + Jacobs Blocking Trophy
Strengths
- Massive frame anchors against any bull rush
- Quick feet for his size — mirrors speed rushers outside
- Violent punch sets the edge with authority
- Excellent knee bend sustains run blocks through the whistle
- Smart combo blocker in zone schemes
Weaknesses / Areas to Develop
- Right tackle exclusively in college — LT projection is unproven
- Penalty-prone with technique lapses (8 holding calls in 2025)
- Heavy feet on second-level pulls
NFL Pro Comparison
Tristan Wirfs (Buccaneers) — massive Polynesian RT with LT upside and elite anchor strength
Outcome Range
- Floor: 10-year starting RT — Pro Bowl in a good year
- Median: Multi-time Pro Bowl RT, top-5 at the position
- Ceiling: Wirfs-tier All-Pro who flips to LT and dominates
Scheme Fit
Power gap-blocking scheme where his mass maximizes; can play in a zone scheme but loses some upside
Pre-Draft Visits
Top-30 visits with the Arizona Cardinals, Las Vegas Raiders, and Kansas City Chiefs
Signature College Game
2025 ACC Championship vs Louisville: zero pressures allowed, multiple pancakes in a 50-3 Miami rout
