Prior to his commitment, Hayes visited Gainesville six times. His most recent trip to Florida was on Jan. 21.
Hayes is now the fourth member of Florida’s 2024 recruiting class. The others are Willis (Texas) four-star quarterback DJ Lagway, Atlanta Woodward Academy four-star linebacker Myles Graham and North Palm Beach (Fla.) The Benjamin School four-star running back Chauncey Bowens.
A 6-foot-4, 210-pound prospect, Hayes has an On3 NIL Valuation of $75K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

“Inside linebacker prospect who is an excellent processor and has a quick trigger. Possesses stopping power when meeting ball carriers in the hole. Quality free blitzer from the inside backer position or off the edge. Has some tightness in his hips and can get stuck in quicksand a bit when changing direction. One of the older prospects in the 2024 recruiting cycle.”
