Tackle or Guard, Francis Mauigoa is the NFL Draft's most consistent brick wall
Miami offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa has earned the right to fail outside, but has the making of a dominant guard
Another day, another 2026 NFL Draft scouting report. Today, we take a deeper look at Miami right tackle Francis Mauigoa, what makes him so consistently sturdy upfront, and how that translates to the next level.
Mauigoa, a former five-star recruit out of IMG Academy (originally from Florida as well), opted to stay in his home state and commit to Miami over every conceivable southern blue blood program. He became a Day 1 starter for the Hurricanes, never missed a start, and never looked back.
Mauigoa will go down as one of the best players in program history at a school with a long lineage of legends.
In a league where offensive tackles rarely hit the free agency market and are overpaid when they do, Mauigoa will be coveted. There is a ton of hype around him kicking inside to guard, but one would think, given the supply and demand at the tackle position, that Mauigoa will get the opportunity to bookend an offensive line first.
So, what does Mauigoa bring to the NFL, and what is one lucky team getting when they take him in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft? Tap in!
