On3’s Charles Power is a fan of Mauigoa.
“Mauigoa is a wide-bodied, nimble mover who is excelling in his first season as a full-time offensive lineman,” Power said. “He works at right tackle for IMG, but likely projects on the interior due to his arm length and build. Mauigoa played very well against a national schedule and some top pass rushers as a junior. He uses his natural strength to create a big push in the run game. Mauigoa with a wide base and has considerable pop in his hands. He has mauling qualities as a drive blocker and is athletic enough to get to the second level with ease.”
About the On3 NIL Valuation
The On3 NIL Valuation is an indexing tool designed to keep track of athletes’ NIL values. It tracks individual players’ values at a given moment in time. It does not track NIL deals that they’ve received. That distinction is important to remember.
There are three things that factor into a player’s NIL valuation: social media, athletic achievement, and prior endorsements.
Social media matters because it’s tangible. It shows how many people follow a student-athlete and interact with their posts. This gives an idea of how many people would see and interact with a paid advertisement for a post. Their on-field athletic achievement is key because it helps with how well known they are. Things like what position you play and awards you’ve won matter. Finally, understanding what endorsements an athlete has received and what is available to them is important in determining NIL potential.
