Hayden Erickson '24 Recruiting Profile

I have a passion for football that drives me to be the best player I can be. Through countless hours of dedication and hard work. I am a very physical player, excelling in both offense and defense. My commitment to the game is unrivaled and I strive to be the best I can be in every aspect of football. I am confident I can bring a winning spirit and tireless work ethic to the football team at the collegiate level. Playing football at a higher level has been a lifelong dream and I am determined to make it a reality by continuing to improve both in the classroom and on the field. My senior year I have had to overcome a huge roadblock. In the 3rd game of the season I tore my MCL during a tackle. I missed the rest of the season. After the season was over and only playing 3 games I was still honored with All conference 2nd team, and during that time I didn’t stop working. I have been in the weight room and physical therapy trying my hardest to come back better than ever. I ended up being cleared after 2.5 months post surgery. This was a huge milestone, because I was told I would not be able to play sports for at least 6 months. I am now starting for my varsity basketball team again and continuing to improve my strength and speed.
