Lincolnton (N.C.) won 11 games and reached the NCHSAA 3A state semifinals last season. The Wolves plan on making another deep run this fall and they've got one of the state's top defensive prospects leading the way.
Senior four-star linebacker Jalaythan Mayfield is the leader on the Lincolnton defense. The Indiana commit was all over the place in an impressive season-opening 30-10 road win at Maiden on Friday evening.
The 6-foot-1.5, 235-pounder racked up 13 tackles, forced a fumble in the red zone and returned a fumble for a touchdown in the victory. He routinely bullied the Maiden offensive line coming off the edge, notching a sack and tackle for loss. Mayfield raced all over the field and finished plenty of plays with aggression.
1 – 0 in the books. Great win over our cross town rivals Maiden! 13 Tackles | 1 Forced Fumble | 1 Fumble Recovery | 1 Touchdown | 1 Sack | 1 TFL |TheUCReport TomLoy247 SWiltfong_ ErikRichardsUSA BrandonHuffman JeffRabjohns#AGTG #Growth #IUFB #GoHoosiers #RecruitTheL pic.twitter.com/kOjJ12sgei
Mayfield is also an offensive weapon on the ground for the Wolves. He rushed for 13 touchdowns as a junior last fall to go with a whopping 152 tackles. He averaged over 11 tackles per game in 2025 and is already off to a blistering pace as a senior.
