Potentially the one of the best receivers in the region. Great combination of size and speed. Has outstanding body control and strong hands. Has the frame, now just needs to add mass to it.


Biography:
As a senior earned first team Class AAAA Associated Press All-State.

As a junior Maddox caught 23 catches for 505 yds and 11 TDs and defensively he recorded 65 tackles and 10 interceptions. According to Maddox he carries a 2.6 core grade point average and has scored an 880 on the old SAT and a 1180 on the new SAT.

Maddox: "“I am like a centerfielder back there,” explained Maddox of his free safety position. “I just try and cover as much ground as possible. I think I am better at wide receiver because I have been playing that position since street ball. I am just more comfortable there. Last season was only my second playing defense. My first I felt very uncomfortable and out of position. Last year it came together. But I still feel better on offense. I like to go up and get the football. I think I run excellent routes that are precise.”

Scouting Report: Offensively Maddox is good in traffic catching the football, especially with a defender draped all over him. Maddox has super body control and concentration. He applies these same skills to his free safety position. But he’s also in the right place at the right time, a trait of all great safeties.
