Looks to be a candidate to redshirt and get a year in with the training program. Could add some depth for the future.
Is on on athletic scholarship? That is, is he an addition to the 2008 scholarship recruiting class? Thanks.
He was the hush hush recruit, but not anymore since he has started taking classes. I guess he was heavily recruited out of high school, but had to go the Juco route.
A big big body.

Partially from bits I have read about him and partially my own guesses...he was forced to go to a juco out of hs but then was able to get everything in order in a year so his recruitment took a lot of places by surprise, so a combination of a little good fortune and a good job by the staff. I have read he had a good season in juco and is someone that is exciting to add with a big upside (no pun intended).
During the signing day press conference in February 2007 -- Gene's first class -- I recall that Gene said the same thing about Alex Alvarez . . . most everyone else thought he was going to be a two-year JUCO guy. We got him after one (and redshirted him last fall).
Heartening to see that our guys are on top of it, that they seem to go an extra mile to do the job.
They aren't so much going to had bulk as trying most of that fat into muscle. at the least he drops some "fat weight" and adds muscle weight.:skeptical:

This is his roster information at cyclones.com. Had it in my mind that Hayworth was from Florida and attended JC in California, but. . . .
This reads that he went to college at Antelope Valley and attended Palmdale High School, correct?
Gee, a real, live Californian.

Fascinating, I had my eye on this guy from the summer roster. I really enjoy this trend of Chizik's of grabbing JC players with three years of eligibility remaining. In Hicks' case, he even has a redshirt left, so I'm guessing he spends this year working on strength and conditioning.
By the way--if it says he ran a 5.78, since the other numbers are from a combine, I'm guessing that's what he ran. That day. Not that he'll run that after a year of conditioning...just ask Lee Tibbs, or even Tuba.

Not entirely-how many guys drafted by NFL teams run a 5.78? . Footspeed is not only partially a measure of explosion, but of pulling ability (anyone remember the Pro Bowl guard for the Vikings who ran a 4.58? Randall McDaniel?) as well--and this staff would really like to have some guys pulling ahead of the likes of Bo Williams.
