Idaho State’s run-threat QB with proven touchdown production
Hays finished his Idaho State career as a dual-threat quarterback who brought real scoring punch, piling up 3,543 passing yards, 27 passing touchdowns, 792 rushing yards, and 13 rushing TDs across 44 games, including captain status in 2024.[2] In 2024, he showed he can impact games in multiple ways, adding 344 passing yards and 7 passing TDs in limited action, plus 224 rushing yards and 6 scores.[2] His value is in short-yardage toughness, playmaking when the pocket breaks down, and a track record of handling pressure; the main fit question for a team is whether it wants a mobile, high-competitive backup or situational spark rather than a classic pure pocket passer.[2][8]
