Josh Hayes brings efficient, low-usage steadiness—but the trail points to a recent Utah stint, not Ole Miss
Josh Hayes’ most recent verified college production came in the 2025-26 season at Utah, where he averaged 2.8 points and 2.0 rebounds while shooting 63.8% from the field across 32 games, including a season-high 10 points against Ole Miss.[9][12][13] He profiles as a strong, energy-driven forward/guard type who finishes efficiently, rebounds his area, and can give you reliable minutes without needing the ball—a useful fit for a team that wants toughness and low-maintenance stability.[12][13][15] One caveat: the available public data does not cleanly support him as an Ole Miss rostered guard in this cycle, so his current status should be verified before treating him as a Rebels piece.[1][2][8]
