Maynard Jackson is coming off an 8-3 season and its fifth-consecutive playoff appearance under head coach Eric Williams, who has been at the helm of the team since 2004. Williams has seen a lot of success over the past decade, making the playoffs nine times in the past 11 years. Last season marked the most victories in a season for the Jaguars since 2017 when they won nine games. A key stat from 2024 is that the Jaguars scored the most points in a season (294) since 2018, when they scored 323 points. Maynard Jackson scored 40 or more points three times last season, all resulting in victories.
All-region first-team QB Rayshaun Parks transferred to Peachtree Ridge for his senior season. He rushed for 870 yards and 11 touchdowns a season ago. The Jaguars will return one of their best playmakers in Javaris Reed, who was a significant contributor to the Jaguars as a sophomore. On defense, key returning players will be Tarik Carswell and Kemarie Murrah, both all-region selections from a season ago who will remain key contributors and leaders on the defense. Rising sophomore defensive back Christopher Hart will be another player to watch for the Jaguars after receiving all-region honors as a freshman a season ago, finishing with 21 tackles, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble. In 2025, Maynard Jackson will try to make it past the first round for the first time since 2017, with hopes of going even further.
