Dallan Hayden is the son of former Tennessee Volunteers and NFL tailback Aaron Hayden and brother of Chase Hayden, who signed with Arkansas as a 3-star prospect in the Class of 2017 before transferring to Illinois. Hayden works closely with the Coaching for Literacy, a charity that donates money with every touchdown he scores, totaling more than $20,000 in donations since its inception.

“I call my teammates family, my brothers, and it’s more than just the game,” Hayden said of the charity. “Charity events, giving back to the community, that’s my biggest why. Giving back is just so important because you should just put yourself in that person’s life and realize that everybody doesn’t have the resources to receive help.”
