Francis Mauigoa has strong outing at the Polynesian Bowl

Charles Power•

Several top offensive linemen played in the Polynesian Bowl, led by five-star Miami offensive tackle signee Francis Mauigoa. The 6-foot-5, 325-pounder protected Iamaleava’s blindside for Team Mauka and pitched a clean sheet for the evening. Mauigoa showed his readymade skill set that makes him one of the highest-floor offensive linemen in what is a deep cycle at the position. He neutralized top 100 defensive lineman and Oregon signee Matayo Uiagaleli off the edge. We also saw Mauigoa play many snaps at defensive line. The Five-Star Plus+ and No. 19 overall prospect looked the part.

Francis Mauigoa a Top Performer at Under Armour Future 50

Charles Power•

Francis Mauigoa was On3's No. 2 Top Performer at Under Armour Future 50 after an impressive showing in 1-on-1's. Mauigoa locked horns with the top two edge rushers on hand: Oklahoma commit Adepoju Adebawore and LSU pledge Dashawn Womack. The rep with Adebawore could be ruled as a stalemate, but Mauigoa showed the ability to recover after getting beat off the line. He followed that up with a very strong rep against Womack, quickly getting into his pass set and stoning the LSU commit at the point of attack.

Mauigoa was far and away the top offensive line prospect at Future 50. He was the top athlete and most nimble mover in a group of big 300-plus pounders – by a considerable margin. Mauigoa’s combination of movement skills and play strength at 6-foot-5, 325 pounds m

Francis Mauigoa rated as a 5-star by On3

Charles Power•

Francis Mauigoa was the lone new five-star prospect in the On300 update in April 2022. Mauigoa has long been considered a top prospect in the cycle, breaking onto the national radar as a freshman defensive tackle at San Bernardino (Calif.) Aquinas. He’s since transferred to IMG and has blossomed into a top offensive lineman. We saw Mauigoa star for IMG in his first full year at offensive tackle. He manned the right tackle spot for the Ascenders and opened up some big holes for one of the nation’s top high school teams.

A well-proportioned 6-foot-5.5 and 330 pounds, Mauigoa combines ready-made size with top-shelf quickness. He’s very light on his feet on Friday nights and makes projectable plays as blocker at the second level. We see the elite quickness in the camp setting as well — Mauigoa recently ran a blistering 4.5-second short shuttle at ESPN’s Underclassman Camp in Orlando. Mauigoa’s ability to move at his size stands out in what looks like a very strong cycle along the offensive line.

Francis Mauigoa impresses against top pass rusher

Charles Power•

Francis Mauigoa and IMG Academy took on American Heritage who touts top pass rusher, Marvin Jones Jr. The California native manned the right tackle spot for IMG. He likely projects inside long term but showed well on the edge. Mauigoa was matched up with Jones for much of the night and held his own. He had a few nice position blocks that created some nice holes.
