AUBURN, Ala. – Hayden Brice’s career has had a lot of changes, including two stops in junior college and two position changes, but it’s clear that the Auburn senior edge defender is making most of the opportunity to play at his dream school on the Plains.
Originally from Jackson, Mississippi, where he graduated from St. Joseph Catholic School, Brice was a multi-sport athlete growing up. In addition to football, he also played basketball, was involved in track and field, and swam. Ultimately, he decided to focus on football over his second favorite sport, basketball, while he was in high school.
“I played AAU basketball when I was in the 10th grade. I remember going to a tournament in Atlanta, walking in the gym and seeing these other kids that were like seven feet tall,” said Brice who now stands 6-foot-3. “They were already this tall at the age of 16. After that, I realized that I might not get any taller, but I knew that I was definitely big enough to be a football player. So, I just put all my focus into football after the 10th grade.”
Following high school, Brice continued his football career as a wide receiver in the Mississippi Association of Community Colleges, playing first at Pearl River Community College in 2018, where he recorded eight catches for 136 yards, and then at Northeast Mississippi Community College in 2019, where he totaled eight catches for 220 yards and a touchdown.
After his 2019 season at NMCC, Brice had his sights set on one school – Auburn University.
“I never actually took a visit to Auburn,” the senior said. “Auburn was the only school that I applied to, so when I got in, I came. Auburn was a dream school for me.”
