Callen helped C-L to a 21-6 overall record, the KSAC North title, a second-place KSAC finish, a third-place ending in District 9 Class 1A, and the PIAA playoffs in 2019-2020 by averaging 19.7 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.7 steals, 2.6 assists, and 2.6 blocks per game. The 6-foot-4 forward shot 42.3 percent from the field and 80.6 percent from the free-throw line and enters his senior season with 1,211 career points.

Hayden Callen joins his older brother, Dan Callen, in earning All-State honors. Dan Callen was a second-team Class 2A selection in 2017.
