Who are Drake Maye's brothers?

Drake Maye's brothers are Luke, Cole, and Beau Maye, all of whom share a strong athletic background. Drake May is the youngest of all Maye brothers and grew up in a competitive family of athletes, with constant challenges among him and his three older brothers. Whether it was golf, football, or pickleball, everything turned into a competition. Drake acknowledged that having older brothers made him more driven: "Everything we’re doing, we’re trying to win," he shared. His parents also noted Drake's love for "smack talk," which fueled their friendly rivalries. At the 2024 NFL Draft, his brothers Luke, Cole, and Beau stood by his side, offering support as Drake was picked third overall by the New England Patriots, a moment made special by their close bond.

Luke Maye

Luke Maye is the oldest of the four Maye brothers and he is the one who led his siblings by example. Following in his parents' footsteps, he took up sports at a young age and although he wanted to emulate his father and play football, his size was a factor in his father suggesting he pursue basketball instead.

Maye attended the University of North Carolina (UNC) and played for the UNC Tar Heels basketball team during his time in college. In his freshman year, he was mostly on the bench with hardly any playtime. In his sophomore year, he would again be on the bench but got to play in most games though he only managed to score ten points in three regular season games.

His breakthrough year came as a junior in which he got off to a great start and continued to play well averaging 16.9 points per game and 10.1 rebounds per game by the end of the season. He continued in a similar fashion in his senior year as well finishing with 14.9 points and 10.5 rebounds per game.

Maye entered the 2019 NBA Draft but went undrafted. He was then signed by the Milwaukee Bucks to their Summer League team and was later moved to their G-League affiliate. Since then Maye has found himself playing in various basketball leagues all over the world including the Italian, Spanish, and Turkish Leagues. Luke is now a professional basketball player for the Ibaraki Robots of the Japan Professional Basketball League as of 2024.

Cole Maye

Cole Maye, the second brother, found success on the baseball diamond. He pitched for the Florida Gators and was part of the 2017 team that won the College World Series. Cole's athletic journey didn't stop there, he also played for the Charlottesville TomSox in Virginia's Valley League. While he took a different path from football and basketball, Cole Maye is a recent graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from the University of Florida where he won an NCAA baseball title with the Florida Gators. Although he attended Florida, Cole has remained supportive of his brothers' careers at UNC.

Beau Maye

Beau Maye, the third brother, followed Luke to UNC, walking onto the Tar Heels basketball team for the 2022-23 season. However, Beau's college basketball career was cut short, possibly due to recurring injuries, including nine knee surgeries during high school.
