Hayes Appel is a steady, physical guard with upside for Puget Sound
Hayes Appel gives Puget Sound a sturdy 6-foot-1, 200-pound backcourt presence and enters the 2025-26 season as a junior guard from San Francisco Waldorf.[3][4] His high-school profile showed efficient scoring and touch, including 15.2 points per game in 2022-23 with a strong field-goal percentage, which hints at a guard who can create without forcing the issue.[12] He looks like a fit for a team that values toughness, positional size, and reliable two-way minutes more than flashy stat-chasing.
