In a recent episode of “YSN,” hosted by DJ Yokley, Hinchliffe discussed the team’s challenging start to the season, exacerbated by a bout of illness that affected the entire roster for nearly four weeks. Despite this setback, Hinchliffe and his teammates demonstrated resilience in their healthy return to form.

“We were struggling with it for a long time… that was our first week we weren’t sick,” said Hinchliffe, reflecting on their breakthrough performance.

The discussion also veered into lighter topics, such as his food preferences and aspirations beyond high school. Hinchliffe revealed a penchant for Italian cuisine, preferring angel hair spaghetti with sweet sauce and a roll on the side, but admitted his ideal meal would include a medium-well steak and a sweet potato.

When it comes to future plans, Hinchliffe has his sights set on playing college football but remains undecided on a specific school. With a solid academic record and a favorite subject in English—mainly because it spares him from dealing with numbers—he appears well-rounded both on and off the field.

His support system, especially his family, plays a crucial role in his success. “It means everything… they push me every day,” he shared, emphasizing their importance in his life.

As for his professional aspirations, Hinchliffe is considering a career in physical therapy, driven by a desire to help fellow athletes recover and stay motivated. “Just helping athletes out… keeping them motivated to keep going,” he explained.

The conversation concluded with a peek into Hinchliffe’s travel interests; Aruba tops his list of favorite destinations after having visited the sunny locale once before.

With such determination, both on and off the field, Ashton Hinchliffe is certainly a name to watch in Ohio high school football. His journey is a testament to hard work, resilience, and the unwavering support of loved ones.
