In October 2019, Jan Maynard was welcomed as an inaugural member of the Sports Legends of Cleveland Metropolitan School District. He was presented with a certificate reading in part, "It is my pleasure to present this Certificate of Recognition to Mr. Jan Maynard ... for outstanding achievements in Wrestling. I commend Jan Maynard on his induction into the Cleveland Metropolitan School District Hall of Fame ..."
That same month on Facebook, Gray Maynard stated his pride of his father and his accomplishments:
Gray Maynard accomplished much in his amateur wrestling career and as a professional MMA fighter. He grew up in Las Vegas, then transferred to national mat powerhouse St. Edward High School in Lakewood, Ohio outside Cleveland, where he was a two-time state finalist, winning an Ohio state title in 1998 at 152 pounds. Gray Maynard then headed north to wrestle at Michigan State University, where he was a three-time NCAA All-American, tallying 106 wins. He then launched his MMA career in 2008, compiling a record of 13-7 in a decade-long career.
