Jay Peyton '21 Recruiting Profile

My name is Jay, and I am ready.  At my young age, I have already overcome a lot. I was born in Haiti to parents who could not care for me.  I was given to an orphanage at the age of 3 and lived there for 4 years until my parents adopted me and brought me to the United States.  As I grew, my family and friends noticed that I was fast. Really fast.  I began playing soccer and flag football as a child and then contact football in the 7th grade.  I was addicted!  There is no better feeling than getting past the defense and seeing nothing but grass between me and the end zone.  Football is a lot of work and, at my size, there are challenges to overcome, but I have been overcoming challenges since I was born in Haiti.  These challenges have developed character and a work ethic in me that sets me apart and will lead to success at the college level.  I can’t wait for the challenge!
