Peyton York initially joined the Mississippi State soccer program as a student-athlete in the 2018 signing class, but was sidelined throughout the season due to injury. She moved into her current role as a student assistant coach prior to the 2019 season.
York came to Starkville after a standout career at Prosper High School where she collected 54 career shutouts in just three seasons, including 22 as a sophomore on her way to being named Co-Goalkeeper of the Year in 2015-16.
On the club circuit, she registered 50 shutouts for Solar SC from 2012-17 and earned National Goalkeeper of the Year honors in 2013.
The Prosper, Texas, native has a variety of volunteer coaching experience, including instruction at MSU soccer camps the past two summers. She has coached in the youth recreation league in her hometown and offered private training sessions in the past.
York has worked striker and goalkeeper camps for In the Box Soccer in Texas for three years as well as U.K. Elite Soccer Camps.
During the 2019 spring season, York took on the responsibilities of mentoring early enrollees Katie Moore and Emily Samisch while leading the goalkeeper workouts until head coach James Armstrong added a volunteer assistant coach to his staff.
In her collegiate career, York earned recognition on the 2018 Fall SEC Honor Roll. She landed on the principal’s honor roll all four years of high school and earned all-state academic honors in 2015-16. She was a member of the National Honor Society in high school and volunteered with the Special Olympics and JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes.
