Maty Mauk

Mathew "Maty" Richard Mauk (born June 13, 1993) is an American former football quarterback. He is currently the head football coach at Principia School, located in Town and Country, West St. Louis County. He played college football for the Missouri Tigers and Eastern Kentucky Colonels. He is the younger brother of quarterback Ben Mauk. Mauk attended Kenton High School where he was coached by his father. As a senior, Mauk led Kenton to the state championship game where he lost to the Norwayne High School Bobcats of Creston, Ohio.

Mauk holds national high school career records for passing completions (1,353), passing attempts (2,110), passing yards (18,932), and total yards (22,681). Mauk held the passing touchdowns record with 219 but was surpassed by Jake Browning in 2014 (229). The records for completions, attempts, passing yards, and total yards were previously held by his older brother, Ben Mauk,

2012 season Mauk was redshirted during his first season at the University of Missouri and did not play in any games.

2013 season Throughout the offseason, Mauk competed for the Tigers' starting quarterback job but was ultimately named the backup to returning starter James Franklin.

Mauk played sparingly to begin the 2013 season until Franklin left the Tigers' game against Georgia with a shoulder injury. Mauk entered the game with Missouri leading 28–26 in the fourth quarter and ultimately helped lead them to a 41–26 victory. He earned the honor again on November 4 after leading Mizzou to a 31–3 win over Tennessee. Mauk passed for three touchdowns and ran for another in the Tigers' victory.

2014 season Mauk and the Tigers passing game came into 2014 with considerable hype, despite the loss of the previous year's three leading receivers. And through three games, that hype seemed to be coming to fruition, but problems arose in a close win over South Carolina and came to a climax a week later in an abysmal shutout at the hands of Georgia where Mauk completed just 9 of 21 pass attempts for 97 yards and four interceptions. Following the Georgia game Mauk and the Tigers rebounded and finished 11–3 winning the SEC East for the second consecutive year along with the Citrus Bowl against Minnesota.

2015 season On September 29, 2015, Missouri announced that Mauk was suspended for a violation of team policies. A 2019 interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch revealed that the suspension was due to a failed drug test for marijuana use. After missing four games, Mauk was reinstated on October 25 and rejoined team activities during the bye week. On November 1, 2015, Missouri announced that Mauk was suspended for a second time, for the remainder of the 2015 season, due to disciplinary reasons. According to multiple sources cited by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Mauk's second suspension followed a verbal confrontation that took place late at night outside of a downtown Columbia bar. As a result of Mauk's suspensions, freshman Drew Lock took over as starting quarterback of the Tigers for the final eight games of the 2015 season. Soon after the season concluded, on January 26, 2016, Mauk was indefinitely suspended from the Missouri football team after an old video surfaced of him apparently snorting a white substance; he was dismissed from the program on January 28, 2016. Mauk then transferred to Eastern Kentucky University for the 2016 season.
