From Myers Park to the Super Bowl: Talking Drake Maye with Coach Scott Chadwick

Inside Carolina’s recruiting expert Don Callahan and host Tommy Ashley talk with current Clayton High head coach Scott Chadwick on this edition of Noon Dish. Chadwick coached former Tar Heel turned Super Bowl quarterback Drake Maye in high school at Myers Park, and Chadwick shares stories from Maye’s high school days as a Mustang. Chadwick describes first seeing Maye play as a freshman and the evolution of the quarterback through his high school career, UNC career and now as an NFL star.

Chadwick also discusses the current day-to-day events of being a high school coach in the new era of college athletics as well as 2027 standout A.K. Crumel, a defensive back Bill Belichick and staff are pursuing on the recruiting trail.
