Brown gets a high-IQ, production-heavy linebacker in Hayes Beaver
Hayes Beaver arrives at Brown as a 6-foot-2, 215-pound linebacker from Savannah Country Day with real all-around production and a reputation as the defense’s tone-setter in the 2025 season: 316 career tackles, 13 tackles for loss, five sacks, three interceptions, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries as a senior. Brown’s staff is getting a versatile, physical, academically strong prospect who also played lacrosse, which usually shows up in pursuit angles and body control. He looks like a fit for a team that values reliability, toughness, and a linebacker who can actually finish plays, not just look good in a recruiting graphic.
