6’7, 196lbs, class of 2027,

Wheaton Academy in IL,


Hayden is a versatile wing with a strong post presence and a fierce finisher with good footwork, adding crafty scoring abilities in the post, but they can step out and knock down the threes with a silky, smooth touch. Hayden does relentless work on the boards. And is a solid defender. Hayden is a natural-born playmaker with size.


Playing AAU for the IL Wolves, Hayden averaged 20 points per game. Hayden feels he must keep working on his handles to become a guard.


Hayden's biggest accomplishment is starting varsity as a freshman and averaging 20 points per game. Hayden's goal for this season is to score 25 points per game and to lead his team as far as possible. The biggest challenge will be playing against excellent players and high schools. The game Hayden is looking forward to most this season is playing Benet HS because they have a really skilled team and are always one of the top teams in the state.


The things that motivate Hayden most on the court are when people doubt him, and he uses that to keep pushing and getting better.


Hayden, when facing adversity, keeps a positive mind and pushes.


Hayden doesn't have a specific thing said to him that comes to mind but his trainer says many things that help him a lot through his basketball career.


Right now, Hayden's goal is to go high-level D1, but he understands he needs to keep getting better and staying in the gym every day. Hayden hasn’t talked to any coaches yet or gone on any visits


I assess that Hayden is a rare talent just beginning to scratch the surface of just how good he can be. With his size, scoring ability, and aggression on the boards, this young stud will only get better and better. Hayden has already made a statement and sent a mission statement, being a freshman playing varsity and averaging 20 points. As Hayden continues to elevate his game and expand it more, he could be a budding superstar. The potential is there. With the hunger and passion to always push himself doing D1 work, letting his defense go to another level, we will all remember his name for years to come. I anticipate another monster season from Hayden, building on all the work he has put in from last season till now. My advice to everyone is to get on this train now before it takes off and you're left thinking why you weren't there to see the journey. Stay tuned!
