AJ Hull

AJ Hull, a 2012 graduate of Kenai Central High School, stands among Alaska’s most accomplished multi-sport athletes. A four-sport letterman and state champion, Hull combined elite athletic performance with leadership, sportsmanship, and academic excellence throughout his high school career.

In football, Hull was a three-year letter winner and two-time state champion (2009, 2011), also leading Kenai to a runner-up finish in 2010. He earned numerous accolades, including Gatorade Player of the Year (2011), Offensive Player of the Year, and State Outstanding Player. Hull was a three-time First Team All-State quarterback, twice named All-State at defensive back, and once as a return specialist. He was also named State Player of the Game in the 2009 title matchup and earned All-Tournament honors on both sides of the ball in 2010. He continued his football career at Western Oregon University from 2012–2013.

Hull earned four varsity letters in basketball, finishing his senior season as a First Team All-Region and Second Team All-State selection. On the baseball field, he was part of the 2012 American Legion State Championship team and was named Tournament MVP. He also received the Big Stick Award and was named Northern Lights Player of the Year, as well as First Team All-State.

In track & field, Hull was a two-time Northern Lights Region Champion in the 200m and long jump. He also competed at the state level in the 300-meter hurdles and was part of a 4×400 relay team that placed sixth in 2010.

A true student-athlete, Hull graduated with a 3.68 GPA, was a member of the National Honor Society, and later earned a B.B.A. in Business Management from the University of Alaska Anchorage.

Known for his humility, leadership, and unselfish play—like pitching the ball to a teammate near the goal line to share the glory—AJ Hull’s legacy lives on in the Kenai community, where he continues to give back as a mentor and basketball official. He is a fitting addition to the Alaska High School Hall of Fame.
