Scout Report
Standing 6-5 with elite perimeter skills, this rising sophomore is already making waves in the loaded 2028 recruiting class.
Background
The Atlanta native suits up for powerhouse Woodward Academy, where he's surrounded by elite talent including #5-ranked center Bentley Lusakueno in his own class and committed Clemson guard Zac Foster. Coming from a basketball family with connections to the game, Hayes has developed in one of Georgia's premier prep programs known for producing high-level college prospects.
Playing Style
Hayes combines impressive size for the shooting guard position with a developing perimeter skill set that suggests significant upside. At 6-5, he possesses the length and athleticism to guard multiple positions while having the frame to continue adding strength as he matures. His versatility on both ends of the floor allows him to impact winning in various ways, whether creating his own shot or facilitating for teammates. Playing alongside other highly-ranked prospects at Woodward has accelerated his development and basketball IQ.
Recruitment
Already holding offers from Missouri, Xavier, and Georgia as just a sophomore, Hayes is positioned for a meteoric rise up recruiting boards. His #13 national ranking in the 2028 class reflects the early attention he's garnering, but that number could climb significantly with continued development over the next two years. Programs are getting involved early recognizing his combination of size, skill, and upside potential.
