University of Arkansas offensive line target Garrett Hayes is one of the more athletic prospects at his position, but he recently proved his strength also is in the upper echelon of his peers.
Hayes, 6-5, 270 pounds, 4.85 seconds in the 40-yard dash, of Athens, Texas, has scholarship offers from Arkansas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Oregon, TCU, Baylor, Tennessee, Nebraska, Missouri, Houston, Oklahoma State and others.
He placed sixth in the 275-pound weight division at the Texas High School Powerlifting Association state meet Division 2 in Abilene, Texas, on March 23. His squat was less than 50 pounds off his most recent best of 650 pounds set at a regional meet earlier in March.
