Miami offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa has been named the Outland Trophy National Player of the Week for Week 11, the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) announced Tuesday.
Mauigoa anchored a Hurricanes front that powered the Hurricanes to a 38-10 win over Syracuse on Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium. The 6-foot-6, 335-pound right tackle also had one of the game’s signature moments, taking a designed backward pass behind the line of scrimmage and finishing a 3-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter.
The Outland Trophy, now in its 79th year, is awarded annually to the nation’s most outstanding interior lineman on offense or defense. Three finalists for the award will be announced on Nov. 26, with the winner set to be revealed during The Home Depot College Football Awards on Dec. 12 on ESPN.
Miami closes its regular-season home slate Saturday, Nov. 15, against NC State at Hard Rock Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. on ESPN and 104.3 FM WQAM.
