247Sports national recruiting analyst Greg Biggins raved about Mauigoa’s potential at the collegiate level.
Massive two-way lineman who shows high level potential on both sides of the offensive line. Projects as an offensive tackle or a defensive tackle and where his body is at in a few years will likely determine what side of the ball he plays on. Was a more dominant player on defense where he showed a ton of raw power and physicality. He can dominate at the point of attack, has a very quick first step and can run down plays from behind. He might have more upside as an offensive tackle as he’s already 6-6 and young for his grade. He’s a smooth athlete, very fluid in his movement and has the feet to excel as a pass blocker and the toughness and mean streak to be a finisher in the run game. He comes from a football family with two older brothers who played or will play at the next level and Francis has the highest upside in the family by a big margin. He projects as a impact upper tier Power 5 starter and future high round NFL draft pick.
