A sleeper defensive back to know down in South Georgia, Hayes showed last fall as a junior that not only can he go up and snag the football like a receiver, but that he can really come down-hill and make a play against the run. He plays hard, recovers quickly on receivers, and was consistently one of the better defenders on the Thomasville defense. He showed a lot of D1 talent last season after making 30 tackles, picking off one pass and breaking up five more. His recruitment is picking up with new offers from Old Dominion, Liberty, Kennesaw State, Temple, among others. He’ll also be an easy additon to the next Prep Redzone rankings.
