Maize’s Bryson Hayes is next in line to be the next great receiver for the Eagles.
Hayes is a senior who just committed to Nebraska this summer.
“I chose to continue my academic and athletic career at the University of Nebraska because of the development and future of the program,” Hayes said.
Hayes is known for his blazing speed and incredible playmaking abilities, which have rightfully earned him spots on the first teams of all-league and all-state.
His standout performance on the field makes him the ultimate X-factor in class 6A. The senior burst onto the scene as a sophomore, catching 19 passes for 582 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. Then, as a junior, he took off again, catching 60 balls for 962 yards and 10 touchdowns.
After a 5-6 2023 campaign, Hayes and the Eagles are ready for more success.
“For our team, our goal for this year’s team is to leave it all out on the field each game we play,” Hayes said. “My goals for this upcoming season are to be better in every aspect of my game and to have over 1,000 yards receiving.”
The senior has also made a big jump in his leadership aspect.
“We have a bunch of young guys so I got to really step in and be a leader not just by voice but by action as well,” Hayes said. “Our focus for this year is one game at a time.”
