I’m Peyton Hipps, and football has been a core part of my life since I was five years old. My ultimate goal is to play at the collegiate level while pursuing a degree in Psychology. I’ve learned that success in the classroom is just as important as success on the field, and I take pride in excelling at both.

Academically, I challenge myself through Honors and AP courses and I’m currently dual enrolled at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College (ABAC). I’m passionate about learning—whether that’s breaking down film, analyzing defensive schemes, or diving into psychology coursework.

Athletically, I’ve battled adversity and come back stronger. During my sophomore track season, I underwent labrum repair surgery, which impacted my junior football season. Despite that setback, I worked relentlessly in the weight room and bounced back to complete a strong track season—finishing 8th in my region for Shot Put with a personal best throw of 42’3”.

I also competed in the Drew Cronic Raise the Bar Mega Camp (June 1, 2023 - Session 1), where I ran a 5.35 40-yard dash and had a standout individual session. Since then, I’ve added size and strength, and my current measurements reflect the hard work I’ve put in.

I’m coachable, motivated, and ready to compete at the next level—both academically and athletically.
