Bucknell edge rusher Connor Hayes brings veteran size and steady discipline
Connor Hayes is a long, experienced Bucknell defensive end who has been trusted in the rotation since his junior year, giving the Bison a sturdy, assignment-sound edge presence rather than a flash-only pass-rush gamble. At 6-foot-1 and 245 pounds, he profiles as a physical, lunch-pail defender with solid football IQ, captain-level background from Ocean Township, and the kind of academic/leadership resume coaches tend to love. He looks like a fit for a team needing reliability, toughness, and maturity on the edge.
