He received offers from 14 Division I programs, including Ohio State and Tennessee .

He transferred to Iowa Western Community College back in January, before joining the Huskers. Hayes spent just 33 days on Nebraska's roster. The Huskers are now back to six running backs entering the 2026 season.
Mekhi Nelson, Kwinten Ives and Isaiah Mozee all took snaps for Nebraska in 2025. The Huskers also have Jamal Rule, an incoming freshman; Conor Booth, a redshirt freshman; and Vincent Genatone, a transfer from Montana.
