Breaking down the finalists

Haynes spoke with On3 about what stood out with each school

Oklahoma- Its home! I like Coach Venables and Coach Valai and think the program is headed in a great direction. Coach V being a defensive coach I feel like I can be coached well there… My family are OU fans and my teammates are going there.

Notre Dame- I feel like it’s a great university with a great football history. I like the coaches (Coach Mickens) and feel like they can help me make the league and after my football career is over.

Georgia- Georgia is a great program. The best in the country over the last few years. I feel like they’re one of the best schools at developing NFL talent, and I would like to compete at that level. Plus I have a good relationship with Coach Williams.

Texas A&M- I’ve been to A&M a few times and I like the program and the facilities. Even with the coaching change they’ve hired Coach Peterson, who I had a good relationship with when he was recruiting me for his previous school.

Miami- I feel like Miami has reached out the most. I have a great relationship with all of the coaches, and I like the city. The coaches told me about their plan for the future and I like it.

Alabama- I feel like Alabama is the standard, if you can make it there you’re legit. I want to compete at the highest level.  Me and Coach Linguist are building a relationship.
