How’d he get to The Blue™?

Me from last year:

He was/is a walk-on tryouts dude that joined the squad back in December of 2023. Ron Counts put out a little bit about him (link here).

Nickname

“Hawk”

Honestly, there is one other ‘AJ’ out there that I can think of.

Career Highlights

Last year he appeared against Eastern Washington. That’s pretty cool.

2026 Prospectus

Based on his participation so far most likely special teams and a couple of snaps in a couple of games. Going to be a tough year to see playing time so here’s to Maes taking advantage of his opportunities.

Is he on Twitter?

NIL Exchange:

Yep.

Completely made up fact

AJ Maes was rooting for South Korea in the World Cup but could not believe Hong Myung-bo couldn’t coach them past the knock-outs.
