Ryan: Maybe it’s just the sheer amount of tape I’ve watched on Hayes over the past two years, but I am very high on him. He comes onto campus already built to be a college back and has all the tools — breaking tackles, physicality, change of direction, pass-catching. He’s not the fastest guy on the field, but he can hit home runs with his other traits and needs to be accounted for in the passing game. Penn State has a loaded RB room, but I’m calling my shot here with Hayes.
