DE Kenny Hayes (transfer to Toledo)

[Buckeye86]

Best of luck young man, stay healthy/safe.

Particularly sad given his obvious enthusiasm for being a Buckeye.

Get your degree and you will always be a Buckeye (not that you wouldn't be either way, but get your degree).

 

[Outstanding]

Good Luck Kenny!

Per a tweet from Tim May, Hayes has asked for and received a release from his scholarship. I remember he had recurring headaches, but wouldn't he get a medical waiver if that was the reason?

On the surface I am surprised this did not go medical hardship as well.

Me too... best of luck to the kid and I hope everything works out for him.

He was an All Toledo City League basketball player. Maybe his plan is to transfer to a MAC type school to play BBall.

Is that sarcasm or a real question?

Real question. I know was released from scholarship because of headaches.... but never know... forgive my ignorance.

No worries. I wasn't sure if you were confusing him with his brother.

It is for football.

So apparently the reoccurring headaches (or whatever the health concern is) that prevent him from playing at OSU won't prevent him from playing somewhere else?

That seems... odd.

Good luck to Kenny! Wherever you end up, get your degree, young man. Buckeye Nation is behind you.

I'm under the impression, he can't go to another Big 10 school on scholarship?

Your impression is outdated.

I believe they had something to do with the new freshmen DL class we just brought in.
