Jonathan Hayden '20 Recruiting Profile

In college I aspire to get a degree in engineering and/or computer science, as well as play college soccer in either Division I,  Division II,  or Division III.   After college,  I want to work in the computer engineering field or computer science field.  However, I want soccer to continue to be apart of my life after college as well.  This summer I also plan to get a reffing license, so I can ref games as a part-time job.  My father has played varsity soccer in high school and college in Division I,  as well as professional soccer.  I have played soccer since the second grade, if not before that.  I have always worked hard on and off the field to make sure that I am physically and mentally prepared for anything that may occur in a game.  I always put in 110% in games and in practice, and I have the same determination in the classroom.  At the moment I am in all AP and GT classes at my high school and I also participate in the school orchestra.  I play the violin.  My time management/prioritization abilities have contributed to the balance of athletics, academics, and extracurriculars in my life.  I consider myself a scholar athlete, which places importance on both academics and athletics.  My unweighted GPA is 3.63 and my weighted GPA is 4.88.  The position I am most accustomed to on the field is as a midfielder, specifically a defensive mid.  However,  I will play any position that the coach needs me to play.   I am also a very consistent player who is able to read the game in order to create plays and opportunities for the team to score.  In my opinion, teamwork and chemistry is a very important aspect to winning, so I like to play for the team as a whole rather than solely for myself.
