Vanderbilt’s quiet, high-IQ trench grinder
Mayle has been a long-time Vanderbilt developmental defensive lineman whose value shows up in consistency, toughness, and football IQ more than splashy stat lines. In the 2018 season, he was used as a reserve DL and special-teams contributor in all 13 games, which hints at a reliable, team-first profile rather than a pure stat-sheet hunter.[4] His background as an engineering student and former walk-on adds to the feel: disciplined, sturdy, and steady under the hood, though not widely flagged as a headline recruit.[2][3] If you want a dependable depth piece who understands his role, Mayle fits the mold.
