The staff must have decided that they couldn't afford to wait on Williams and gave Hayes the greenlight.

Kinda weird that his coach told a network. Has the kid announced?

Hayes seems like more of a all purpose/duck-r type of guy, whereas Williams seems like more of a typical RB, so maybe they will take 2

Sam is saying he's a RB/WR Hybrid, so maybe they could take Williams too?

At least we know academics won’t be an issue.

Yeah dude, totally agree. This team needs speed.

I don’t hate it. Quick, got hands, two of them, and can play good football.

I mean the fact that 1 RB in the top 20 rushers from the B1G last year was sub 200 LBs.

So I don't like it if he is our only RB in this class.

He can take Wandale's spot as a short yardage guy. Not an every down back though

Fuck yes! Fuck no! Hope he turns out to be Ameer, but feels like Rhamir!

“I feel if I’m to use all my skillset I should be utilized as a running back/receiver hybrid and be able to do everything like returning stuff,” Hayes said. “When I was on the visit coach Frost came forth and was like ‘Would you mind returning kicks for us or returning punts for us? Would you be on the kickoff team to recover kicks?’ Then coach Held was talking about guys like Maurice Washington and Wan’Dale Robinson and how they impact an offense. That’s how they want to use me, like a speed back. When they came with that idea for me and me already having that idea in my head, it obviously fit perfect.”
