Hayward is a 6-1, 229, Senior from Western Michigan and Ypsilanti MI. He is the on again, off again, on again star of the transfer portal recruits. An early pick-up by the new staff, Hayward was dropped for "undisclosed reasons" in May, but is now joining Arizona for camp starting tomorrow. He was on lots of All-American list last year from 2nd to 4th team as well as MAC Defensive Player of the Year. Last year in 6 games he had 58 tackles with 3 for a loss after having 142 tackles with 10.5 for a loss, 5 sacks, and 1 fumble recovery in 2019. IF he stays with the team this time he should be 1 of our starting linebackers and likely our best defensive player.
I couldn't find a highlight reel for Hayward, but he does have a sack in the first clip of these team highlights.
