He's taking 16 credit-hours this spring to finish his degree and should be able to join the Bulls with the rest of the incoming class in July."The offense they run, it's similar to (Blinn), and I think I'm the perfect back for that system," he said. "I can run the ball, but I can also catch passes and line up in the slot against a linebacker."Hayes will join a deep, experienced backfield, with junior Mike Ford back next year and senior Mo Plancher seeking a sixth year of eligibility. Junior Jamar Taylor is considering a move to linebacker, but the Bulls also return junior Aston Samuels and redshirt freshman Demetris Murray, as well as freshman Bradley Battles. The current commitments include two running backs, Tiger Powell of Lake City Columbia and Marcus Shaw of Arcadia DeSoto.Hayes said he is aware of the allegations against Leavitt, accusing him of grabbing a player by the throat and striking him twice in the face, but he said after meeting him in person, he isn't concerned about those."After talking with him, I don't think he could do that," Hayes said. "I watched the bowl game, and the broadcaster brought it up, but he also said the player had changed his story. He's a great coach, but he seems like an even better guy from what I've seen of him."Hayes is rated by JCfootball.com as a three-star recruit, one of only seven junior college running backs to earn that rating.Posted by Greg Auman at 07:10:31 PM on January 7, 2010 in Football , Recruiting | Permalink | Comments (10) http://blogs.tampabay.com/usf/2010/01/junior-college-rb-hayes-commits-to-bulls.html#comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
