Kenny Hayes brings top-100 length and edge-upside to Ohio State’s front
Kenny Hayes is a **6-5, 240-pound** defensive lineman from Toledo who was rated the **No. 96 player in the country** by 247Sports, giving Ohio State a long, disruptive front-seven piece with clear developmental upside.[1] His biggest differentiators are frame and pass-rush projection: he has the size to add more bulk without losing length, which fits the Buckeyes’ NFL-style defensive pipeline.[1] If you want a high-upside DL target, Hayes is the kind of athlete worth betting on.
