“Staying on trend with underrated defensive back prospects, Princeton’s Garrett Mays Garrett Mays 5'11" | 160 lbs | DB Princeton | 2025 State WV is another one that you need to know heading into his senior year. Mays was a First Team All-Coalfields performer as a junior and a very athletic DB prospect who plays corner for the Tigers. Although a bit undersized, Mays makes up for his lack of size with speed and quickness while also playing above his weight class. Mays has the speed to stick to his receiver in man coverage and does a nice job of playing the ball in the air and getting his head turned. He’s also not afraid to leave his man to play the run and will make open-field tackles. Even as a smaller DB, Mays does a nice job fighting off blockers and playing with high effort to get to ball carriers.”
