The Michigan Wolverines have done it again, securing one of the top tight ends in the 2025 recruiting class, Jackson Hayes. Regarded as a generational talent, Hayes stands at an imposing 6’6″, weighs 250 pounds, and boasts a rare combination of speed, agility, and power that makes him a nightmare for opposing defenses.

The Decision

 

The recruiting battle for Hayes was nothing short of intense, with powerhouse programs like Georgia, Alabama, and Ohio State all vying for his commitment. After weeks of speculation, Hayes made his decision public during a live ESPN broadcast. Clad in a navy suit and a maize tie, he grinned as he reached under the table to unveil a Michigan cap.
