Here's a link to a good article written by Jason Munz that gives a lot more background on Justice Hayes, how Todd Monken recruited him, Hayes' strengths as a running back and why he is a good fit with Southern Miss. I like Hayes' quote at the end of the article:
"I just want to win," he said. "and we've got the chance at Southern Miss to do that. I've been here for a week and I've seen guys as talented as guys I played with and against in the Big 10 and SEC. The talent is here. We've just got to stay focused, communicate and do the little things."
I remember reading comments on several Michigan message boards that he was considered their best blocking back on 3rd and long passing situations. I have little doubt that Monken will give him the opportunity to showcase his running and receiving skills- and it's also good to know we'll have a running back good at protecting the QB when the situation calls for it.
