Damarion Mays is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after recruits in the country. The 6-foot-3, 184-pound wide receiver from North Crowley High School has been a dominant force on the field, showcasing elite athleticism, a massive catch radius, and strong hands that make him a nightmare for defenders. His ability to create separation, stretch the field with his speed, and rack up yards after the catch has made him one of the hottest names in the 2028 class.
Mays put up staggering numbers during his freshman season while at Life Oak Cliff, finishing with 1,642 receiving yards, 14 touchdowns, and an impressive 24 yards per catch—averaging 164 yards per game. Not only did he shine on offense, but he also made his presence felt on defense as a varsity starter at free safety, displaying outstanding ball skills and range.
With his recruitment heating up, SMU has officially thrown its hat in the ring, joining a growing list of suitors that includes Georgia, Baylor, TCU, Missouri, Miami, Arizona State, Nebraska, and Houston, among others. As one of the most electrifying young talents in the nation, Mays is primed for a meteoric rise, and his recruiting stock is only trending upward.
