Expert Analysis

Robert Davis

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Hayes can be a lockdown corner at times, having the ability to take receivers out of the play. He has great vision and does not fall for double moves, waiting and not biting up on the fakes. He shows good hips being able to open up and run with receivers and playing through the receivers hands batting the ball down. He will need to work on his hands, he had some chances to turn a couple of passes into interceptions and maybe house calls but was unable to bring the ball in. If he is able to come up with some of those opportunities this year he will see his stock jump.

Hayes is a talented corner whose on-field success is a testament to his hard work and experience. He is one of the more technically sound corners in the state who has excellent patience and eye discipline, especially at the snap. His ability to flip his hips quickly and squeeze down on routes has helped him consistently stand out. Hayes spent his sophomore year lining up across from some elite talent and proving time and again that he possesses the needed skillset to be a true number one corner.

Hayes is a technically sound corner whose sophomore season has opened the door to a very bright future. He does an excellent job of staying patient at the snap and playing to his leverage. His willingness to initiate contact when engaging with the ball carrier while contributing to the run defense shows immense physicality and toughness for a player his size. Hayes’ ability to make a play on the ball while it is in the air is another of the many characteristics that make him a must-know corner with top-tier potential.
