Gardner-Webb LS Jaylan Mays: Special-teams precision with a defensive edge
Jaylan Mays brings value as a long snapper with a strong football background that includes defensive production in high school, where he posted 4 tackles and 2 sacks in 2023-24 at Chambers High School. That kind of snapper-athlete profile often signals toughness, leverage, and competitive motor, which can translate well to special teams reliability. He appears to be more than just a specialist: the résumé suggests an aggressive, high-effort player who can help a roster that wants consistency on punts and field goals while adding physicality and depth to the special-teams room.[1][2]
