Blaise Hayes Blaise Hayes 5'10" | 155 lbs | WR Oak Mountain | 2027 State AL is a really impressive wide receiver out of Briarwood that made a lot of clutch catches for them last season. Hayes is a really shifty receiver- he gains a lot of separation off his routes with how well he is able to cut and break off of defenders and is consistently an open target for his quarterback. Hayes also does really well when the ball is in his hands- he uses the same shiftiness to make defenders miss in open space and fights for every available yard. I also was really impressed by Hayes’ set of hands as well, he frequently made a lot of contested catches in coverage and does a really good job hauling in difficult passes. Keep an eye on him going forward, he was a frequent playmaker in Briarwood’s passing offense last fall and is set up for a big sophomore season!
