Quote from Gavin Root (Head Coach at Centre College):

“A Winner and someone who will give McLean everything he has. This is who we all know Hayden as on and off the court. I couldn’t be more excited for him and his family for this opportunity. He will win and produce great people on and off the court. McLean has hired a great one in Hayden.”
