JR Hays #27

Western Michigan · RB · R-So · 2027 Draft · Florence, Ky. · Ryle

5-9 · 187 lbs

2.4

Raw Prospect

Floor 1.5 · Ceiling 4.4

#12690 overall · #833 RB of 15096

Scouting Verdict

Unproven redshirt sophomore RB; grade reflects no meaningful college snaps yet, upside carried in the ceiling.

Ceiling · 4.4

Projected 2026 starter (RB1) — real opportunity to climb; significant upside (+2.0) · MAC draft-temper · RB devalued (ceiling capped).

Floor · 1.5

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.9.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.
