Bruce Feldman of The Athletic named Miami right tackle Francis Mauigoa 16th on his annual list of freaks. Mauigoa has started all 26 games he has played in his Miami career. Miami signed Mauigoa as a five-star prospect in the 2023 class.
Mauigoa was 2024 second-team All-ACC, 2023 honorable mention All-ACC and a 2023 consensus freshman All-American. Pro Football Focus credited Mauigoa with allowing two combined sacks/hits on 534 pass-blocking snaps and he is the only FBS tackle with two or fewer knockdowns allowed on 500-plus pass-blocking snaps.
Mauigoa's 71.4 PFF pass-blocking grade since 2023 is tied for fourth among ACC tackles.
