Almost a month and a half ago, five-star offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa named his top 13 schools. Tennessee was not on that list.

Six days after the No. 6 prospect in the On3 Consensus revealed his favorites, five-star quarterback Nico Iamaleava committed to Tennessee. Mauigoa and Iamaleava are good friends, they have similar backgrounds, and that commitment has put the Vols right in the thick of this race.

“I have known Nico since the 9th grade and he put Tennessee on my radar,” Mauigoa told On3. “We are both Polynesian, we are from American Somoa, and he has been my dude for a few years.

“Tennessee had tried to recruit me earlier, but I had not talked to them much, but he has changed that. I didn’t expect him to go to Tennessee, so when I found out, I had to really start looking at them.

“They are a great school and I would love to block for Nico on the next level.”

The 6-foot-5, 327-pound offensive tackle is now in regular talks with the Tennessee staff. Josh Heupel, Glen Elarbee, and others have have began to build a relationship with Mauigoa.

“The whole staff is showing love to me. I talk most to coach Elarbee and coach Heupel, and they are great guys. Coach Elarbee is someone I really like. He is a smart offensive line coach and we are getting along.”

Mauigoa has yet to take a visit to Knoxville. That could happen late in March. Iamaleava will be there Memorial Day weekend and that elite quarterback stays in Mauigoa’s ear about the school he is committed to.

“Nico talks about creating a whole new team at Tennessee. He talks about the skill guys being there, but to win a national championships at Tennessee, they need linemen like me. That is what they are missing he said.

“Nico has talked about the school and the coaches and he says everything is great. The coaches have a plan to get Tennessee back to the top and Nico has been talking to me about it. It all sounds great.”

Now the No. 1 offensive tackle in the country wants to see it for himself.

Not sure how on3 came up with #6, but I’m pretty sure that 6 is not the average of all those rankings

Yeah but it's compared against all of the other top guys in the country. For Francis, all of the services are pretty high on him, whereas other top guys (Carnell Tate anyone?) are all over the place with their rankings (dumb@ss ESPN), so he's all the way up at 6 because he's high on every service which is very unusual.
