At the 2017 Florida High School 4A State Championships, Hackett was a state champion as a member of Fleming Island’s 200 medley and a medalist in both of his individual races. He placed 3rd in the 200 free and was the runner-up in the 100 fly. On the leadoff of the 400 free relay, he put up a best time in the 100 free to help his school to a 3rd place finish. Hackett was also a 2-time individual state champion at the 2016 4A state meet, where he won the 200 free and 100 fly.

Hackett joins a recruiting class that includes fellow Florida state champions Miguel Cancel and Robert Finke. The loaded class also includes the likes of Kieran Smith, Trey Freeman, Will Davis, and Isaac Davis.
