Nebraska hauls in speedy WR Bryson Hayes into 2025 recruiting class
The Nebraska 2025 recruiting class is taking shape. The Huskers went without a commitment for eight months but now are on a bit of a tear. Nebraska has added three-star receiver Bryson Hayes from Maize (Kans.) to its commitment list. Hayes chose Nebraska over Kansas State and Kansas. He also visited Arizona and USC.
Hayes has committed to Nebraska, bringing the total number of commitments to five in the Huskers’ recruiting class. He is the second wide receiver in the class, joining Nebraska legacy Jackson Carpenter from Lincoln (Neb.) Southwest.
The 6-foot-0 and 180-pound Hayes visited Nebraska five times and has an official visit scheduled to return to Lincoln on June 14th. The Huskers hosted Hayes during the first week of spring practices, and he noticed some things about the offense.
“I was in Lincoln for practice on Tuesday,” Hayes said. “It was good to see how they work up there and some everyday life. I also got to see how Coach Garret McGuire teaches his players, and he coaches them well.
“I think the offense looked like they added some juice to it! They definitely have a bright future in the quarterbacks’ room.”
Hayes is the first out-of-state commitment for Nebraska in the 2025 class. Hayes joins defensive back Caden VerMaas from Omaha (Neb.) Millard North, defensive lineman Tyson Terry from Omaha (Neb.) North, Conor Booth from Wahoo (Neb.) Bishop Neumann and receiver Jackson Carpenter from Lincoln (Neb.) Southwest.
As a junior, Hayes caught 60 passes for 962 yards, averaging 16 yards per catch. He scored ten touchdowns. Bryson ran a 10.69-second 100-meter dash and a 22.78-second 200-meter dash during the 2024 track season.
