Bill O’Boyle (OL Coach) on Wright: “We couldn’t be more thrilled to be adding Hayden to the Wildcat family! Hayden is a very exciting player who has a tremendous set of athletic abilities that make him a special offensive lineman. He plays with a mean streak, and a nastiness that will fit in very well with the level of play in the offensive line room. His development will allow him to reach the highest levels of play in the Big Ten.”
