Haley Van Voorhis (born 2003) [1] is an American football player for Shenandoah University. She is one of the first women to play a position other than kicker in an NCAA football game, at any level.

She was 2019 All-State Honorable Mention in Virginia, playing wide receiver and defensive back.

Before starting college, Van Voorhis played strong safety in the Pro division of the Women's Football Alliance for the D.C. Divas in Washington D.C., recording 21 tackles in five games.
