The work of 4 star kicker Hayden Schuster can be underappreciated at times, but he gets his job done.

Throughout the beginning of the season, Schuster has been consistent when given an opportunity.

Hayden Schuster is 3/6 on field goals at a 50% rate through 6 games and is also 16/17 on extra points at a solid 94%.

Schuster loves to bring energy to the game any way he can. This season, he has connected on 4 onside kicks.

Schuster’s ability to follow through on the onside kick is a great weapon to have in his arsenal, especially in a late game situation.

Kickers in high school tend to receive less respect than they deserve. Little do some people know, Schuster takes a lot of pride in perfecting his craft.

Over the past two summers, Schuster has “attended around 12 kicking camps” in preparation for football season.

Camps that he has been to include a list of college camps which are Florida State, Auburn, South Florida, Central Florida, and Florida.

On top of the college camps, Schuster has attended 2 ranking camps and 3-4 training camps.

Through attending these camps, Schuster received a 4 star ranking from “Kohl’s Kicking” which has helped Schuster evolve his game.

Schuster has plenty of role models, but he likes one in particular.

“I really look up to Roberto Aguayo” says Schuster, “he’s definitely my favorite kicker.”

Like Aguayo, Schuster wants to be successful and he knows to achieve that, he must work hard.

In his off time he will often find a field, go out, and kick some for extra reps.

With a great work ethic it’s hard not to respect this young athlete.

On top of the hard work, Schuster has a lot of confidence in his kicking.

The confidence Schuster has will shine, and with his work ethic you can expect nothing less than a great kicker.

This PHU athlete looks to have a bright future as not only a Palm Harbor University player, but very possibly a collegiate player.

Watch out for number 99 on Friday nights from here on out, you’re going to see a star being born.
