Landon Hughes '24 Recruiting Profile

Where I come from soccer is a fairly new sport.  People from Hazard are more worried about the next basketball or football game.  My generation of players are the people introducing the sport to most people.  Since I was young I was taught to play my hardest and give it my all 100% of the time, and that it what I do.  I am a very coachable athlete and I work well in tense situations.  I am also a team oriented player that will do anything to help us win.  I took the ACT this fall and i got a 22.  I have not yet taken it again but I intend to take both the ACT and SAT in the years to come.  I was selected for the Duke TIP program which I attended in the summer of 2019.  Also I was selected for the Rogers Scholar program last year that I was going to attend but was sadly cancelled by COVID-19.  I maintained a 4.0 GPA all through grade school, and I currently have a 3.8.  I aspire to go to college and major in medicine.  I've always wanted to work in the medical field since I was a small child.   What makes me different is that I am a very determined person.  If I set my mind to one thing I will make it happen no matter how hard it is or how long it takes.  I also started for Hazard High School soccer as a freshman this year.  I have been training with them since my 7th grade year but this year I could play without losing eligibility.  I have yet to join a club because there are none close enough for me to get to training every week without it getting in the way of school.  I joined Commonwealth Soccer Club in November, 2021.  I now play for Lexington Sporting Club.
