Maya Johnson is Norfolk State’s steady senior power source behind the plate
In the 2026 season, Maya Johnson gave Norfolk State a rare blend of veteran leadership and two-way value: she started 42 of 43 games, hit .176 with 16 hits, 3 home runs, 15 RBIs, and 5-for-5 stolen bases, while posting a .973 fielding percentage across 297 chances and ranking among the MEAC’s top defenders. A four-year Spartan, she was named to the preseason All-MEAC first team, and her senior-day recognition underscores her role as a respected locker-room anchor. She’s the kind of catcher/infielder who helps teams win with toughness, reliability, and pulse.
