Former Missouri football quarterback Maty Mauk has been named the head coach at Principia High in Town and Country, Missouri, marking his first head coaching job. Mauk, who previously served as an assistant coach at Glendale High in Springfield, comes from a football family background, with his father and brother also involved in coaching.
The announcement of Mauk's appointment was made by Principia in a news release, with the school expressing confidence in his deep understanding of the game and commitment to developing student-athletes. Mauk, known for his time as a standout player at Mizzou, where he led the Tigers to conference title game appearances, expressed his excitement to contribute to the growth of the young athletes at Principia and build a successful program based on the school's values.
Principia High competes in Class 3, District 2 of the Missouri State High School Activities Association. Mauk's coaching journey follows a university career marked by successes and controversies, leading to a transition to professional football that was cut short by injuries.
