Francis Mauigoa

Player Summary

Francis Mauigoa, a durable three-year starter and 2025 captain at right tackle with 26 consecutive starts, combines a dense, broad, powerfully muscled frame—more guard-like than typical tackle—with surprising movement and athleticism for the position. He plays with high football IQ, excellent contact balance, and a strong core, delivering firm initial pop and torque on run blocks while patiently sliding, latching, and redirecting rushers in pass protection. Mauigoa rarely loses to speed, anchors well against power, maintains pocket depth, and smothers momentum at the turn. In the run game, he walls off defenders with a wide base and shows destructive finishing power. Primary concerns are excessive leaning that erodes leverage and sustain on drive blocks, vulnerability to spin counters, average range reaching outside-zone landmarks, and shorter arms that limit recovery on stacked or late moves. He's an early Day 1 starter at right tackle with guard versatility and a high ceiling.
