[2][3] As a senior, Mauk led Kenton to the state championship game where he lost to the Norwayne High School Bobcats of Creston, Ohio.
[1] In addition to football, Maty Mauk was a high school All-District selection in basketball and qualified for the Ohio state track meet in four different events.
Throughout the offseason, Mauk competed for the Tigers' starting quarterback job but was ultimately named the backup to returning starter James Franklin.
And through three games, that hype seemed to be coming to fruition, but problems arose in a close win over South Carolina and came to a climax a week later in an abysmal shutout at the hands of Georgia where Mauk completed just 9 of 21 pass attempts for 97 yards and four interceptions.
Following the Georgia game Mauk and the Tigers rebounded and finished 11–3 winning the SEC East for the second consecutive year along with the Citrus Bowl against Minnesota.
[15] According to multiple sources cited by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Mauk’s second suspension followed a verbal confrontation that took place late at night outside of a downtown Columbia bar.
[21] In addition to serving as an assistant coach under his father at Glendale High, Maty Mauk also works as a real estate agent and opened a training center for young athletes.
