Walk-on cornerback Shemar Hayes brings turnover juice and Buffalo toughness
In the 2020 season, Shemar Hayes flashed as a high-effort Buffalo cornerback with an interception against Akron, and his profile as a former walk-on from Rochester/Aquinas underscores the kind of grinder coaches love. At 6-foot-1 and 193 pounds, he offers size at the position and a backstory that suggests persistence, discipline, and buy-in. He is less about gaudy volume than trust, development, and special-teams-ready toughness — a solid fit for a team valuing length, competitiveness, and a blue-collar mentality.
