Summary

Francis Mauigoa is a three-year starter at right tackle who has developed under one of the country’s top offensive line coaches in Alex Mirabal.

About

2025: Allowed 0 sacks; 1.6% pressure rate (10th-lowest among FBS OT)
High school: Five-star recruit; No. 6 overall player in Class of 2023

Strengths

Shows plus power in the run game with heavy hands and a dense, powerful frame that moves defenders off their spot.
Pulls with purpose and adds extra gaps in the run and screen game; displays strong athleticism and spatial awareness in space.
Rarely beaten in protection; efficient technician who gets to his spot without wasted movement.

Weaknesses

Will occasionally turn his shoulders toward the sideline, leaving him vulnerable to inside and spin moves; must keep his shoulders square longer and avoid punching across his body.
Has good, not great, feet; can get overextended against athletic edge defenders and struggle to recover versus inside counters.
Lacks a consistently heavy punch in pass protection to reset rushers, often relying on independent hands rather than two-handed strikes.
