Jerome Hayes Jr. continues to be one of Bayonne’s most consistent two-way players. At 6’2”, 225 pounds, he brings a rare mix of size, speed, and versatility that makes him stand out on both sides of the ball.

On defense, Hayes is a natural linebacker. He reads plays quickly, flows to the football, and finishes tackles with authority. His instincts are top-tier — proven by his two pick-sixes this season. He closes passing lanes with ease, showcasing strong awareness and reliable hands. In one-on-one tackling situations, he rarely misses.

Offensively, Hayes adds another layer to Bayonne’s attack. He wins in tight coverage, tracks deep balls, and makes contested catches with strong body control. His ability to transition from defense to offense speaks to his athleticism and football IQ.

Currently committed to LIU, Hayes still has more levels to reach. As Bayonne begins its playoff run, expect him to elevate his game even more. His blend of physicality, instincts, and leadership provides him with the tools to excel at the next level.
