"That would be awesome, man. Miami's second home. Miami has been there, I mean, with all the Cuban food and all the tradition. It's awesome, man. It'll be nice to be able to stay home and play with a couple of my teammates from back home, (left guard) Jonah Savaiinaea, and also Tua Tagovailoa."
"I met him last year or two years ago. I was doing an assignment (for class). It was to interview people off campus. I was like, 'Let me hit up Tua, find a way to communicate with him.' Thankfully, that happened. He's an awesome guy."
Francis Mauigoa, Miami Hurricanes' elite right tackle prospect, is projected as a top-10 NFL draft pick. In ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr.'s latest mock draft, Mauigoa is slotted to the Miami Dolphins at No. 11. Speaking at the NFL scouting combine, Mauigoa expressed enthusiasm about staying in Miami, citing the city's cultural significance and the opportunity to play alongside teammates Jonah Savaiinaea and Tua Tagovailoa. However, the Dolphins are likely to trade or release Tagovailoa this offseason due to his substantial contract obligations. Despite this uncertainty, Mauigoa shared a personal connection with Tagovailoa, having interviewed him for a class assignment during his time in South Florida.
