Mailo made a loud entrance last season and followed it with an even louder offseason. With 14 tackles for loss and 7 sacks, he established himself as a disruptive force in the trenches. That dominance earned him major attention, and he capitalized during the summer camp circuit by earning multiple Power 4 offers. His motor, strength, and explosiveness off the line have vaulted him up the rankings to No. 3. Mailo has proven he can take over a game and set the tone for his defense. If he continues his upward trajectory, don’t be surprised if more national programs come calling this fall.

Mailo measures in at 6’3 230-pounds, playing defensive line/edge for Mullen. He had 52 total tackles (26 solo, 26 assisted), 14 TFL, 7 sacks, 30 QB pressures, 2 FF, 1 FR, and 2 PD. Mailo has good athletic ability due to good lateral quickness, acceleration, and speed. Very good strength, he consistently overpowers the offensive line. Very good quickness out of his stance allowing him to engage the OL first. Low pad level and very good hand placement/hand strength. Controls and steers OL out of the way. Good push off. Very good block shedder. Good bend around the edge, mixed with a good spin move. He switches between rushing inside the tackle or outside putting them on their toes. Very good bull rush. He lives in the backfield. Either creating pressure on the QB or getting a TFL. Mailo plays through the whistle, and doesn’t stop till the play is over. He chased a receiver down 10+ yards to get the tackle. Mailo is a beast and I believe will put himself in the topper echelon of defensive linemen in CO with another great year under his belt.

is another Tight End/Defensive End to keep track of early. At 6-foot-2 and 185-pounds, he has more of a Wide Receiver build right now but should really take off once he hits high school. He’s looking at a number of options right now, including Mullen High School. The Mustangs are coming off a a 5-6 season and haven’t had a winning season since 2016. In addition to having to replace 1,000-yard back Aaron Wehmeyer, they also lose three of their five leading receivers in terms of yardage from last year. Those losses could be Mailo’s gain, if he ends up there and continues to succeed.

-A Tight End/Defensive End/Outside Linebacker type with good size at 6-foot-2 and 185-pounds
-Watching him play, I specifically like what he brings to the table as a pass-catching Tight End. He’s built more like a Wider Receiver at this point, but should be able to add significant mass to his frame as he transitions into high school
-Has gotten it done outside the regular season, too. Whether it be during 7-on-7 or on the camp circuit, he turns head. In fact, he was named Tight End MVP at the All-Poly Camp last summer
