5-star OT Francis Mauigoa commits to Miami

Five-star IMG Academy offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa announced his commitment to Miami Monday afternoon on the 4th of July.

The 6-foot-5, 327-pounder picked the Canes over Tennessee, Alabama, USC, Florida, and his home state Hawaii.

He joins 4-star QB Jaden Rashada to give Miami a top 10 recruiting class according to the On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings.

Mauigoa currently ranks as the No.10 player in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that accounts for all four recruiting sites. He also tabs in as the No. 2 offensive tackle, and the No. 2 player in the state of Florida behind Five-Star Plus+ Cormani McClain.

On3 ranks him as the No. 14 player in the class of 2023 according to the On300.

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.
