Born to Andy Mayer and Amy Mayer, the tight end remains close to his family. However, despite Mayer's exposure to social media, there is limited information available on his parents. Of course, they have seemingly remained supportive throughout Mayer's football career.

In an earlier interview, Mayer recalled his mom yelling at him when he was a kid, simply to get the ball out of their house. Mayer played basketball as a child and often ended up breaking a few things in their house.

“My first love of basketball was very early on. Man, [I] had a hoop in the living room. My mom always tells me now that I'm a little bit older, she always had to yell at me and tell me to get that ball out of the living room because he was breaking things and lambs were going all over the place.," Mayer said.

Interestingly, Mayer isn't the first Division I football player in his household. His older brother, AJ Mayer, was a 2018 graduate who played backup quarterback for the Miami RedHawks. In fact, he led the Colonels to their state title in 2017.

As per Mayer, his brother playing football helped his family a lot.

“Him [AJ Mayer] going through the recruiting process before me really helped me out,” Mayer said. “It helped my family out, He told me a lot about things and he’s having a good time at Miami.”
