Hurricanes players sent their support via social media to Hayes.
"Got you bro," fellow linebacker Raul Popo Aguirre wrote on X. "Keeping fighting #AD."
Hayes was mostly a special teamer during his true freshman season, making an appearance in 12 games. He was credited with four tackles and one interception, returning it for 25 yards during the team’s blowout 56-9 victory over Florida A&M.
The 6-foot-4 linebacker also saw time in the Pop-Tarts Bowl against Iowa State last season.
Hayes was one of the top-ranked linebackers coming out of high school in 2024, a consensus four-star prospect who was 247Sports’ No. 73 overall player. He was also the seventh-ranked linebacker in the country.
