“I’m thankful,” Hayes said. “It feels good to know I have an offer from the college football national champions.”
Hayes was invited into Nick Saban’s office after the camp and Saban informed him of his offer. Hayes really loved getting the chance to talk one on one with Saban.
“It was an honor,” Hayes added. “I was excited to actually sit down across from him as he offered me.”
Hayes is a 4-Star defensive end in the 2020 recruiting class. He is a product of Horn Lake High School in Horn Lake, Mississippi, which is the same high school of Alabama target and the No.1 LB in the 2019 recruiting class, Nakoobe Dean. Hayes didn’t get to see too much of Alabama’s campus due to time restraint but it is expected that the Tide will get him back on campus. However, he was impressed with the Tide’s facilities.
“My coaches and I like the way their facilities are set up,” Hayes said.
The Mississippi-native is a monster inside of the trenches. He stands at 6-feet-3-inches and weighs in at 280 pounds. He also knows how to use his size to plug up holes and run through blockers.
Alabama has only three commits in their 2020 recruiting class. I expect Hayes will be one of Alabama’s top targets in this class.
