Jarvis Hayes brings veteran size and early-season playmaking to EKU’s receiver room
In the 2026 season, Eastern Kentucky senior WR Jarvis Hayes has opened with 6 catches for 64 yards and 1 touchdown, giving the Colonels a reliable, experienced target at 6-foot-0, 194 pounds.[1][2][15] What makes him interesting is the backstory: EKU’s staff called him a “legitimate playmaker,” and he arrived after posting 11 catches for 413 yards and 4 touchdowns at Georgia Military in 2025, showing he can stretch the field and create chunk plays.[3] If a team wants a seasoned, physical receiver with proven upside, he fits the bill.
