Very shortly after defensive lineman Jay Hayes decided to transfer away from the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, he made the decision to commit to the Oklahoma Sooners to play his fifth and final year.
It was a logical decision in many ways. It would hook Hayes back uo with the Notre Dame coach that first recruited him in Bob Diaco, and the Sooners had a need along their defensive line. Still, it was a bit illogical if part of his decision to leave Notre Dame was indeed for personal issues at home (a claim that has yet to be verified).
