Joseph Hayes '16 Recruiting Profile

I started playing football in elementary school while living on an Air Force Base in England where my family was stationed.  Since then I played two years of middle school and two years of JV in North Carolina, where I suited up for Varsity my sophmore year. I have just finished my first year of Varsity football in New York.  I've always played football for the love of the game as well as for my teamates.  

After moving to New York halfway through the summer of my junior year, I was able to earn a starting spot on defense.  I played Free Safety and had three interceptions in my first year at the position.  As a team we made it three games deep into the playoffs.  Along with football I ran track for two years in North Carolina and played basketball my junior year in New York.  

In high school I've taken Honors classes in almost every core subject and completed Algebra 1 in 8th grade.  I plan on taking 4 AP courses my senior year of high school. My SAY score is a 1900 and my ACT composite score is a 29.  I am currently ranked 7th in my class and have an average of 96.40.  

In school I am part of the Green Team which helps recycle throughout the school, and my football team plans on doing community service during the summer.  Outside of football I am very passionate about weight training and trying to live a healthy lifestyle.  I enjoy learning about ways I can try to reach my full athletic potential.  I am very passionate about football and would love to compete at the college level.
