Athletic Excellence


The 6-foot-3, 160-pound senior won the 400-meter dash at the prestigious Brooks PR Invitational this past season with a state-record time of 46.24 seconds. That personal-best clocking ranked No. 2 in the nation among prep competitors in 2019 at the time of his selection. Bynum initially set the 400-meter state record at the Division 1 Large State Meet—he broke the tape in 46.60 to eclipse a record that had stood since 1970. He also won the 100- and 200-meter dash at the state meet, leading the Tigers to a second-place finish as a team.

Academic Achievement


Bynum has maintained a 3.60 GPA in the classroom. He has signed a national letter of intent to compete on an athletic scholarship at the University of Tennessee beginning this fall.

Exemplary Character


Bynum has volunteered locally with the Leaders of Tomorrow mentoring program.
