VYPE Spotlight | 2028 Cypress Lakes OL Chase Mayes
Chase Mayes has a chance to become the greatest football player ever to come out of Cypress Lakes High School.
Football, that is. The school's most recognizable athletic alum remains NBA All-Star De'Aaron Fox.
On the gridiron, however, Mayes is building a legacy of his own. The junior offensive and defensive lineman helped lead the Spartans to their first-ever playoff appearance, ending an 18-year postseason drought dating back to the school's opening.
At 6-foot-5 and more than 300 pounds, Mayes is a rare combination of size, athleticism and versatility. His ability to dominate on both sides of the ball has made him one of the nation's most coveted recruits, with virtually every major college program vying for his commitment.
VYPE caught up with the future Division I standout to find out what drives one of Houston's brightest young stars.

We caught up with second-year head coach Tyrone Carter to discuss how the Spartans reached this milestone and how they’re preparing for their inaugural postseason matchup against Magnolia.
