Scout Report
The transition from Texas high school basketball to Conference USA has been seamless for this athletic wing who's already making his presence felt at the collegiate level.
Background
Hailing from Missouri City, Texas, Hayes developed his game at Ridge Point High School before making the jump to UTSA. The 6-4 forward brings a combination of size and athleticism that caught the attention of the Roadrunners coaching staff. His journey from the competitive Houston-area high school scene to Conference USA basketball represents the culmination of years of development in one of Texas' most talent-rich regions.
Playing Style
Hayes possesses the versatile skill set that modern college basketball demands from wing players. His 6-4 frame allows him to operate effectively on the perimeter while also having the size to contribute in rebounding and interior situations. His athletic ability translates well to the college game, particularly in transition where he can use his length and speed to create scoring opportunities. As he continues to adjust to the collegiate level, his development will likely center around consistent perimeter shooting and defensive awareness against more experienced competition.
Recruitment
Now firmly established as a UTSA Roadrunner, Hayes has found his collegiate home in Conference USA. His projection centers around developing into a reliable contributor for the program as he gains experience and strength. The jump from high school to college basketball will test his adaptability, but his athletic tools provide a solid foundation for growth within the Roadrunners system.
