Payton Futch '26 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to receive a full paid basketball scholarship and to earn a college degree. I would be a good fit for a program because most importantly I place God first in my life. I am coachable, hardworking and I have a desire to learn as much as possible about basketball, so I can be a better player and teammate. I am constantly watching my game film and college/WMBA/NBA games to increase my knowledge of the game and to improve my skill set. I work out on my own. I don't need to have a coach call practice for me to put work in. I am a hard worker in the classroom and strive to get good grades. I understand how important getting good grades are. My current GPA is 4.0.  As of February 2024 (my sophomore year) my current averages are 26 ppg, 7.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 6.2 steals per game.  This year I had a 40 point game, 10 games scoring 30 or more and surpassed 1,000 career points in December 2023.  My sophomore year, I was selected All Conference, All State and selected for the Underclassman Team for the Arkansas Democrat Gazette All Arkansas Preps Girls Team.  My freshman year, I was selected All Conference, All State and All State Tournament Team.  The highest achievement I received my freshman year was the Arkansas Democrat Gazette All Arkansas Prep Girls Underclassman of the Year.  My team also made it to State my freshman and sophomore year.
