J.J. Hayes was a big-play boundary threat for Lamar
In the 2011 season, J.J. Hayes was Lamar’s go-to wideout, leading the team with 52 catches for 745 yards despite missing two games with injury, and he also posted a school-record 212-yard game against Northwestern State[2][11]. The appeal here is simple: he’s a 6-foot-3 receiver with proven volume, downfield explosiveness, and the kind of contested-catch profile that can tilt coverage—plus he already earned preseason All-Southland recognition, which says the league respected the production[10]. If you want a physical WR who can create splash plays and handle featured-target duty, Hayes fits the bill[2][10][11].
