Strickland is a 6-3, 230-pound tight end who was a four-year member of the Goffstown High School varsity football team. Strickland was a dominant multi-purpose player for Goffstown as he lined up at tight end, wide receiver, quarterback and running back on offense, and on defense he played both linebacker and defensive end.

As a senior captain, Strickland totaled 18 catches for more than 400 yards and five touchdowns, as well as 361 rushing yards on just 24 carries and four additional scores. He led Goffstown to another state playoff appearance as a senior and garnered an All-Conference Frist Team nomination. Strickland was named to the top 50 Players in the state by the New Hampshire Football Report and was selected to the New Hampshire CHaD All-Star game.

Strickland is also a standout on Goffstown’s basketball and track teams, and was the all-division state champion in the discus as a junior.

What Coach Santos Says: Peyton is a versatile athlete who will pose matchup problems for opposing defenses. He is a physically imposing young man who can have an impact in the run game with his ability to block. In the passing game, he can stretch the field vertically and is a big play threat every time he touches the ball. We expect him to have an immediate impact for our offense next fall and are very excited about his future.
