2017 Verbal: Joshua Hayes

[wisco4]

Izzo tweeted one of the nicest guys he's seen come through Fargo. Had great success at Mankato as well before coming to Fargo.

My son was lucky enough to have him as a position coach his entire time at SU. He can't speak highly enough of him and repeatedly said he made the defense, always said he was the smartest guy on the staff. Great to see him succeed at KSU ,just a class act and always a Bison

IIRC he was injured pretty early in the season last year at UVA and never had much of a chance to contribute.

Good for him though... I wish he wouldn't have left right in the middle of the spring season in '21 but hope he can take this 2nd chance and parlay it into something at the next level. He'll always be a Bison legend in my book simply for that play against JMU in the 2019 natty where he singlehandedly clowned both Stapleton bros on a bubble screen for a big TFL.

If Hayes would’ve recovered the fumble on that the play as well that would’ve probably made it the greatest single play in Bison history.

Was at the K-state vs Texas Tech game Saturday and Hayes continued to play really well. He continues to make great open field tackles and is physical in coverage. I wouldn't be surprised if he starts showing up on NFL radars if he isn't already.

he'll get drafted & also be a special team pro

Is this prediction part of your schtick like your Jose Mohler success prediction? Or do we actually have to keep track of this until next April's NFL draft? I hope you are consistent on your predictions over at your Sam Houston State fansite.

Maybe a top 10 favorite play in the last decade for me. Of course there are 'bigger' plays, but there arent many more satisfying than that one lol

Josh Hayes was the Big 12 defensive player of the week

oh my. another huge loss. he'd be our star...sigh

[WhoRepsTheLurker]

Good for him

Yes, this defense would look different with Cox and Hayes
It is what it is, and it’s the future. I support the team we have now, and they’ve looked really great at times

The TP will create parity across all of D1 with a clear pecking order. You might even be able to see it already in Sagarin. FCS will feel the sting the worse

The good news is that the games will be exciting and it will be hard to maintain a dynasty
Good coaching and good use of the TP will be critical

We have not been lucky with injuries this season, but are still a contender. Go Bison!

Hayes looked GREAT against Iowa State. I watched only a quarter or so and the announcers couldnt keep his name out of their mouths
