A football Old Board Award winner and an All-Ohio honoree, Matthew Koren tallied 4,014 career rushing yards, most all-time in Hawken football history. Koren is in the top 10 of the Hawken football record book in 15 categories. In addition to career rushing yards, he is the school record holder for touchdowns in a game (6), all-purpose yards in a game (509), and rushing touchdowns in a season (26) and career (59). In 2001, he came just 32 yards short of breaking the single season rushing record set by OJ McDuffie. Koren was named a member of the News-Herald All-Decade Football Team in 2010. He was also a member of the Hawken Boys Lacrosse program, which won their sole Division III state championship in 2002. Due to the fact he and his brothers Ray and Greg consistently won the Hustle Award for maximum effort over the course of a decade of play, it was eventually renamed the Koren Award for all three Koren brothers.

 

Matthew lives in Ft. Lauderdale with his husband, Brandon Barclay, where he helps his clients build scalable businesses aligned with their higher purpose.
