Hayden Meeks '26 Recruiting Profile

I am blessed to have grown up in a house with two coaches for parents. They have opened doors for me to have many opportunities to explore any and all passions I have. At an early age I gravitated to sports. One of my first words being ball. I started with soccer and basketball but as the years have gone on I explored other sports. Through middle school I have played, soccer, basketball, tennis, football, golf, baseball, and ran track. At my school 8th grade students are permitted to play on varsity sports and I was blessed to participate on the varsity track and soccer teams. In 2022 our soccer team came up short in the state championship game and finishing 2nd in our division. But our track team brought home the state championship and I’m excited to get my first state championship ring as part of that team. My freshman and sophomore year allowed for additional opportunities as I became the place kicker for our varsity football team. With two region titles and two state runner up finishes I’m hopeful to clinch a state title before I graduate in 2026. However, I know school is about more then athletics but I am wishful and confident that God will open a door for me to pursue athletics into  college.  As mentioned I’m as student athlete which included success both on and off the field. I am a duke tip recipient and Jr Beta club member. I take all honors classes and have set high standards for myself in the classroom as I navigate high school Honors, AP, and duel enrollment classes. I hope this somewhat lengthy statement can give you a snapshot into who I am and where my passions lie.
