Draft Profile: Bio
Micah Mays Jr. from The Benjamin High School was rated a 3-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Mays Jr. opted to join Wake Forest.In 2023 as a freshman Mays Jr. saw action in just one game for the Demon Deacons and didn't feature in the passing game.
As a sophomore in 2024 he played just 3 games
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Shows quickness off the snap to shake off corners and create room. Separates with hesitation moves and nice acceleration.
- Has good body strength to squirm out of tackles with the coordination to maneuver his frame between defenders.
- He’s coordinated with soft, reliable hands, and Mays shows the ability to adjust to balls thrown behind him, as well as a knack for digging out low throws.
- Plays fast and confident. Covers a lot of ground in the short half of the field and is slippery after the catch.
- Fits a zone system, can sift through oncoming traffic and explode through tiny creases and cutback lanes. Elite, darting stop-and-go acceleration. Dangerous in the open field.
- Has a knack for getting open and is a quarterback's best friend - passers just need to toss the ball in his area and he'll come down with it.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Mays really isn’t a guy who will create a lot of separation.
- Mays doesn’t have the ability as a run blocker or the violent run-after-catch ability.
- Physically, Mays profiles as a guy who should have success facing the quarterback, but he struggles to gear down and make the necessary sharp cuts to create separation underneath.
