Ohio State has also confirmed there will be no restrictions on where Hayes can transfer.

I'd feel a lot better about this if there was a little "except Michigan" clause on that.

It's a Big Ten rule that he can't transfer to a conference school and play on a scholarship.

The North remembers.

"The Big Ten modified its transfer rules last year to allow players who transferred to another conference team to receive grant-in-aid."

As news trickles in, sounds like Hayes could be quitting football altogether. Earlier, Tim May talked about his recurring headaches in spring ball and Castel cites a source saying Hayes could be hanging up his cleats.

If he was hanging up his cleats, couldn't he be placed on medical hardship and remain on scholarship without counting against the total #?

buck-I.8 on 3 Aug 2012 - 6:17pm #

That was my thought, so it's odd that he seems to immediately seek transfer.

Very disappointing - he got some massive legs and could have developed into aDoug Worthington type player. A lot of potential. I was hoping for big things from Kenny Hayes. I think he was the first commit from the 2011 class. He did sit out the offseason due to medical issues (migraines I think).

I hope Kenny goes whenever he sees the best fit for him and wish him luck. Always seemed like a great kid from the little I knew about him.

Looks like a health issue (recurring headaches) that will probably end his football career. Damn shame!!

Bummer. Best of luck to Kenny.

Really sorry to hear this. My boy had some classes with Kenny the year before last when Kenny was a senior and my boy was a junior. He said that Kenny was so jacked to go to Ohio State that he had O-S-U carved on the side of his head.

Bummer.
