Matthew Madden '22 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing football since I was in kindergarten.  My bus driver was the founder of Kyle Invaders Football. My bus driver, Coach Lee recruited me to play football. I was a big kid and needed to play in a no weight limit league in Texas. I was 130 lbs. coming out of Pre-school.  I learned to count to ten by performing "Invader Jacks." I also learned how to tie my cleats before my shoes. 

I have lived in Kyle, Texas since 2006. My dad moved us to Texas after the 2006 College season when Vince Young led the Texas Longhorns to a National Championship over USC. My dad went to Long Beach Polytechnic High School, a powerhouse in high school football in the inner city.  My dad played baseball,  but when I was born my dad said I was too big for the sport and encouraged me to play football.  

Over the last 10 years that I played football. I have suffered a few injuries. I have broken both my hands and dislocated my shoulder. My hands have healed and I just had surgery on my shoulder. I was also bit by a rattlesnake when i was 10. I missed a couple games for that, but came back to help my team win a championship.

I had a lot of success in youth football. I won the the Kyle tournament two years in a row, playing for two different teams. I have also played at Cowboys Stadium twice. I wrote a book in elementary school about my experience at Cowboy stadium. I was also named MVP of the last youth football team I played with, the Buda Bandits. I was named MVP as a lineman. That season I had 65 sacks.

I want to play D1 football. I want to play for a National Championship. I am a freshman in High School at Hays High School in Buda ,Texas . I am planning on going to several football camps and combines in 2019. I will be at the Rival Adizero combine in Houston on February 23rd, 2019. I will also be attending mini camps at the University of Texas and Texas State University.
