Devin Maynard is a versatile triple-threat scoring option with strong handles and sneaky speed off the dribble. He has a soft touch from downtown, making him a threat from beyond the arc. Devin’s explosiveness off the bounce allows him to create space for a smooth mid-range jumper or finish with determination at the rim. His high basketball IQ and natural anticipation skills enable him to thrive as both a passer and a defender. Devin also excels on the boards, reacting quickly to rebounds and positioning himself to secure key possessions for his team.
Devin is turning heads with a breakout performance this season, averaging 22 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals per game. His vertical leap is an area he’s determined to improve, and his relentless work ethic is already showing results. One of Devin’s most significant improvements this year is his ability to attack the basket with confidence. So far, his standout moment in basketball was playing at halftime of a Charlotte Hornets game after earning MVP honors at their basketball camp.
Devin is eagerly anticipating the matchup against Logan, his former school, because of the friendly rivalry and the competitive spirit it brings. He believes his team has the tools to make a deep playoff run built on a foundation of scoring, passing, and especially defense. Devin emphasizes the importance of unity and relentless effort, knowing that daily hard work will push the team to reach their full potential.
When Devin steps onto the court, everything changes the moment the ball goes up—it's "go time." In moments of adversity, Devin’s faith grounds him. He turns to prayer and relies on Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.” Devin believes that through faith and persistence, anything is possible. His relationship with God is the cornerstone of his life, and he values it above all else, including basketball. For Devin, staying positive, calm, and true to his beliefs allows him to overcome challenges both on and off the court.
Outside of basketball, Devin enjoys attending church, golfing, helping his family, and assisting those in need. He feels that his scoring ability from all levels of the floor positions him to compete at the D1 level. Devin is committed to daily training with no days off to achieve that dream.
Devin has received interest from KCU and other NAIA schools and hopes to solidify himself as a top prospect with a strong season. His all-around game, from rebounding to defense, combined with his unteachable instincts and work ethic, makes him a coach’s dream. Devin is the definition of a gym rat, always looking for ways to elevate his game. With his hunger to improve and determination to stay focused, Devin’s potential is limitless. Stay tuned—big things are ahead.
