Lincoln's Dehonta Hayes: A Gem being Overlooked?
The outstanding play of Dehonta Hayes warrants more attention from the Pac-12, write James Christianson from Under the Radar.

Kind of player that you'd like to see potentially take a preferred walk-on offer from the UW with the opportunity to earn a full scholarship if warranted on the field.

WSU's "glory days" were filled with kids like this guy. He's definitely capable.
If he's an A student, we should definitely try to get him to walk on. -
Does he have any offers from FCS school like Eastern or Montana?
5'11" 190 with 4.4 speed combined with production and no offers from anyone? James, are those accurate or are they self reported? -
RoadDawg55: His height and weight came from MaxPrep's roster. The 4.4 speed was reported to me by a coach when I could not find it online. And, of course, I observed it when seeing him run by other players on the field with known 4.5 speed (like Gaskin). To be clear, I was not saying he has no offers. I am just surprised there are none from Pac 12 schools (that I have heard). The latest report on offers that I can find was a July 11, 2014 article on NEI quoting Hayes as saying he has offers from Navy, Eastern WA, Montana St., Montana, Portland ST., UTEP & UC Davis. Four months later, he self-reported that he had 7 offers and that he would wait until signing day to commit. In November, he stated that he had been talking to Arizona, Cal, UW and WSU, but no offers. He was a 2014 pre-season, all-state pick (TNT) and was the NW College Showcase DB MVP in 2013 when Austin Joyner was there. So, it seems there was great attention surrounding Hayes early in high school. But, that attention seemed to fade this year, for some unapparent reason.

Tequila long. Read. Good stuff. Would love to see him become a preferred walk on at UW.

I see that Wyoming and Nevada have been added to the list...making a total of 4 FBS and 5 FCS college offers.RoadDawg55 said:Does he have any offers from FCS school like Eastern or Montana?

We need another WR/S. Any chance we are interested but keeping it quiet?
This article doesn't square with his offers. So either there is something else going on, he has some obvious limitation (size?), or he just wasn't really that dominant. -
Prognosticators generally like to be right. It's hard to believe he would be preseason all-state and then not get awarded after such a dominant season. Even if there were off the field issues that were hurting his recruitment, the lists and accolades aren't going to reflect them.FremontTroll said:We need another WR/S.

Not saying he's not a player or an idiot, so don't twist.

Walk on at best.

Hips?
