power-back profile with proven red-zone punch
Jahray Hayes brings a compact, downhill running style that has translated into real production for Central Michigan, including a 2-touchdown outing against Miami (Ohio) in the 2016 season and multiple short-yardage scores that show real goal-line value[4][8]. At 5-foot-11 and 215 pounds, he profiles as a physical, contact-seeking back who can help finish drives and handle tough yardage[5]. The big question for fit is role: he looks like a dependable situational hammer rather than a pure burst-or-bust playmaker, so teams valuing toughness, passable versatility, and red-zone reliability should pay attention[3][5].
