Expert Analysis
Matthew Layton | Prep Redzone Scout
A freshman standout for the Miners in 2024 who was one of their top defensive players was 2028 LB Jacob Maynard Jacob Maynard 6'0" | 175 lbs | LB Mingo Central | 2028 State WV . We’re expecting big things from Maynard in his second season in the program and will have the opportunity to be their leading tackler as a sophomore.
Here’s what we recently said about Maynard in our 2028 Rankings Debut article:
“The most productive pure linebacker in the 2028 class last season was Mingo Central’s Jacob Maynard Jacob Maynard 6'0" | 175 lbs | LB Mingo Central | 2028 State WV . He was the second-leading tackler for the Miners as a freshman among a very talented linebacker group. Maynard totaled 86 stops, including 11 for a loss and 6 sacks. He’s an aggressive and attacking outside linebacker who is very capable of rushing the passer off the edge. Maynard is also stout in run defense with the athleticism that he has, and can track down ball carriers from behind when the play side is opposite of him.”
