Drake Maye is continuing to uphold the family legacy at the UNC that his parents started years ago. He comes from an athletic family and has three brothers who help him continue their family’s amazing sporting history.

He is the youngest of his siblings and is currently drafted by the New England Patriots.  While he is making a name for himself in the NFL, let’s see what his brothers chose as their career path.

Who are Drake Maye’s Siblings? 

Drake Maye has three younger brothers- Luke, Cole, and Beau. The family’s Tar Heel Legacy runs deep in all of them and their parents, Mark and Aimee. In fact, his father, Mark, was a star quarterback from 1983 to 1988. Many of Maye’s siblings went on to play sports at the university, which boasts prestigious alumni, including Michael Jordan, Rick Fox, and Julius Peppers, among others.

Maye and his brothers grew up in Cornelius, California. Drake and his brothers practiced a variety of sports with their father, as well as their mother, who was a college basketball player in her time.

Drake’s mother, Aimee, explains that since Luke was the oldest brother among all the siblings, he was the one who set the examples for the others. She also said that since Drake was the youngest, he used to follow his brother’s footsteps and idolize all three of them.

“His heart just beat faster than the rest of them because he knew he was really in the game of his life here,” she said as per People magazine, citing his thought process was, “‘I’ve got to fight for my right to play in the pickup game in the driveway or to play football in the backyard.’” 

Luke was the first to continue his family legacy and has gained notable recognition at UNC. He played basketball for the North Carolina Tar Heels from 2015 to 2019 and was a key player during the team’s 2017 national championship win. Notably, he made headlines in the Elite 8 game by sinking the game-winning jump shot with just 0.3 seconds left on the clock, which helped propel the team to overall victory.

Cole, on the other hand, chose to pursue baseball. After graduating from high school in December 2016, he enrolled early at the University of Florida. He made his debut with the Florida Gators baseball team in March 2017, as noted on his bio on the school’s website. During his time with the team, he helped secure an NCAA baseball title.

Beau decided to follow in his older brother Luke’s footsteps and joined the UNC basketball team as a walk-on. He contributed by grabbing two rebounds during the 2022 and 2023 basketball seasons. However, he did not return for the following season. This means that only Drake has ventured into football, while two of his brothers pursued basketball, and one chose baseball.

What is the ethnicity of Drake Maye’s siblings?

The entire family is of white American descent and has a legacy in athletics. Drake’s upbringing is rooted in good family values as well as a strong Christian faith.

He has deepened his connection with his faith, even attending Bible studies with his New England Patriots teammate, Kendrick Bourne. Bourne has played a significant role in Maye’s journey by sharing his own faith and Bible study experiences on social media. In 2021, Maye expressed his personal beliefs by posting “Walk by Faith✝️” on his Instagram.

Inside Drake Maye’s Relationship with His Three Siblings

Since the four siblings come from a very athletic family, they are extremely competitive, but still love each other. During a feature with ESPN, the publication noted that “everything is a competition” for the brothers, from playing golf to playing pickleball. 

“[Having] three older brothers, everything we’re doing, we’re trying to win,” Maye explained. “I think it’s kinda part of who we are and we embrace it and we love it.” Their mother mentioned that this competitiveness was a good thing and made them successful in their respective fields.

In addition to his competitive spirit, Drake received strong support from his siblings during the NFL draft, which was evident throughout the event. After being drafted, Maye expressed that the night felt exceptional because he had the presence of his brothers, whom he described as his “best friends.”

“My oldest brother, Luke, plays basketball overseas in Japan. He flew back yesterday and made it in for the trip,” he said, per CBS. “My two parents, my longtime girlfriend, and 10 of my friends and family came up as a surprise yesterday. I know they’re excited. We got a whole bunch of Patriots fans now, so I’m excited to see that.” Clearly, the sibling bond is strong, and all four of them raise each other up through success and storms.
