5-star OT Francis Mauigoa signs with Miami Hurricanes

Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy five-star offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa has signed with Miami.

The 6-foot-5, 327-pound Mauigoa is the No. 5 overall prospect and No. 1 offensive tackle in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 2 player in Florida.

Mauigoa committed to the Hurricanes on July 4 picking Miami over over Tennessee, Alabama, USC, Florida, and his home state Hawaii.

Mauigoa currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $308K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Francis Mauigoa Scouting Summary

Wide-bodied, nimble mover who is excelling in his first season as a full-time offensive lineman. Works at right tackle for IMG, but likely projects on the interior due to his arm length and build. Played very well against a national schedule and some top pass rushers as a junior. Uses his natural strength to create a big push in the run game. Plays with a wide base and has considerable pop in his hands. Has mauling qualities as a drive blocker and is athletic enough to get to the second level with ease. Though he doesn’t project as an offensive tackle long-term, showed some very encouraging skills in pass protection.
