Arkansas State's Scoring Guard with Elite Intensity and Versatility
Matt Hayman, a 6'5" senior guard for the Arkansas State Red Wolves, averaged 11.7 PPG, 3.1 RPG, and 2.3 APG in the 2025-26 season, leading his team in scoring after transferring from Stephen F. Austin where he posted 14 PPG in 2024-25. His differentiators include relentless intensity—evidenced by his Hard Hat Award win for defensive hustle—and the ability to score from all three levels, as seen in his 23-point games against North Dakota State. Hayman’s personality is defined by a 'Chaser Villian Era' mindset, reflecting a competitive, data-driven approach to improvement. With no major injury history and a versatile guard profile, he is a strong fit for teams needing a high-intensity, scoring-first guard who elevates play in clutch moments.
