Upon his hiring that included being part of 10 championship teams with six of those rings coming as a player and four as a coach. He currently enters the Fall 2021 season with an 83-41 overall record in 11 years at three institutions. ALABAMA A&M (2018-PRESENT, HEAD COACH) Since taking the reins, Maynor has compiled an 18-10 overall record, 12.5 mark in the Southwestern Athletic Conference. The spring 2021 season saw him add to not only his personal championship ring collection as he guided A&M to a perfect 5-0 record and 3-0 league mark, accomplishing three impressive milestones in one fell swoop on May 1. That day would see a thrilling 40-33 victory over No. 25 Arkansas-Pine Bluff that delivered the program’s first SWAC Championship in 15 years, the first undefeated season since the 1966 season and the program’s first ever HBCU National Championship. Those accomplish- ments earned him a spot as one of 16 national finalists for the Eddie Robinson Award as the nation’s top FCS coach but were fueled by the efforts of the players he recruited. Headlining that group was quarterback Aqeel Glass, named Player of the Year by the Black College Football Hall of Fame, BOXTOROW and the SWAC — all program firsts. In just three seasons at the helm, that made for 26 All-SWAC honors under Maynor with half of those being First-Team and 21 in the past two seasons. It was also a season marked by 12 All- Americans between postseason and preseason honors, headlined by the first American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) honoree as sophomore wide out Abdul-Fatai Ibrahim was named to the Second-Team, the first such honor since 2007. He was also among six BOXTOROW postseason All-Americans and four preseason honorees for that organization. The spring 2021 season marked a steady improvement for the program from a 6-5 overall record and 5-2 mark in the SWAC in 2018 and 7-5 and 4-3 records, respectively, in 2019. The 2018 campaign also represented the first winning season for the program since 2012. HAMPTON (2014-17, HEAD COACH) In four seasons as head coach at Hampton, Maynor posted a 20-25 overall record that included a pair of winning seasons, the program’s first since 2011.

The compilation of the All-America roster was supervised by a panel of analysts working in large part with the historical records contained in the files of the Dr. Baker Football Information Service. The roster consists of only those players who were first-team selections on one or more of the All-America teams that were selected for the national audience and received nationwide circulation. Not included are the thousands of players who received mention on All-America second or third teams, nor the numerous others who were selected by newspapers or agencies with circulations that were not primarily national and with viewpoints, therefore, that were not normally nationwide in scope. The following chart indicates, by year (in left column), which national media and organizations selected All-America teams.
