On April 3rd, Francis Maui Goa stands six feet five and a half inches tall, weighs 329 pounds, and plays offensive tackle four, Miami as a junior. This dude's a former five star recruit from IMG Academy in Florida, originally hailing from American Samoa, ranked as the top offensive tackle, and second overall in the state back in the 2023 cycle, ESPN had him as the fifth best player nationally, and he even made Bruce Feldman's freaks list that year. Over three years starting a right tackle for the Hurricanes, he logged more than 2,800 snaps, giving up just 15 pressures, and two sacks in 2025 alone. Career-wise, that's 57 pressures and eight sacks allowed, plus 21 penalties. He earned consensus all American honors in 2025 and second team all ACC in 2024. Fans and scouts are buzzing about his elite size, massive hands in the 85th percentile and surprising athleticism.

He's explosive, fluid, and mirrors rushers like a pro. His grip strength and play strength are off the charts, dominating in past protection with quick sets and powerful punches while shining in the run. Game with smart zone blocking, poles, and second level finishes. That said, his arms rank in the 19th percentile for length, which can leave him vulnerable to wide rushers or counters since he only played right tackle in college. Still, his dense frame, high football IQ, and toughness make him a top prospect. Scouts say longer arms might lock him in the top five. If teams like the Giants want to beef up the trenches with smart, dependable power, Mauigo at pick five could be a steal, especially with Vets like. Germain Elua Muner kicking inside. Keep an eye on this Samoan powerhouse shaking up draft boards. This has been NFL News Today, powered by AI.
