Andy Dalton tried to get him to TCU. Instead, Jaxson Hayes went to UT and became a star

Andy Dalton ranked as TCU’s top recruiter for Jaxson Hayes.

Dalton had an inside track to Hayes, pitching him every time he visited his dad, Jonathan, the Cincinnati Bengals tight ends coach from 2003-18.

“Whenever I went to the stadium, Andy would always talk to me,” said Hayes, who ended up going to Texas.

“All the guys were always pitching their colleges to me, but Andy definitely pitched TCU the most out of all the players.”
