When Francis Mauigoa committed to Miami, the 5-star prospect was considered the best Hurricanes offensive line prospect since Bryant McKinnie or Seantrel Henderson.
Mauigoa, like both players, entered the program with great expectations and through two-plus seasons he managed to be as good as advertised. He was a freshman All-American in 2023, second-team All-ACC last season and is now on pace to be one of the top offensive linemen in the country this year.
So it's no surprise that the NFL buzz surrounding Mauigoa is heating up and recent projections by CBS Sports have him going into the top ten of the 2026 NFL Draft.
