Career highlights and awards

Matthew Mayer (born September 23, 1999) is an American college basketball player for the Baylor Bears of the Big 12 Conference.

High school career[]

Mayer attended Westlake High School in Austin, Texas, where he played alongside future NCAA Division I players Brock Cunningham and Keonte Kennedy.[1] He committed to playing college basketball for Baylor over offers from Texas and Texas A&M, among others. Mayer was a consensus four-star recruit, according to major recruiting services.[2][3]

College career[]

Mayer had a limited role during his first two years at Baylor. In his junior season, he improved his efficiency and became a key contributor off the bench for one of the top teams in the nation.[4] Mayer grew a mullet upon the advice of his teammate Jackson Moffatt, who had the same hairstyle.[5] Mayer averaged 8.1 points and 3.7 rebounds per game. Following the season, he declared for the 2021 NBA draft, but ultimately returned for his senior season.[6]
