2025 four-star safety Lagonza Hayward (Lyons, Ga.) will commit on Saturday, and his finalists include the Tennessee Volunteers.
Toombs County High School safety Lagonza Hayward comes off the board this weekend. He’ll commit to Florida, Georgia, or Tennessee, having omitted the South Carolina Gamecocks from his final list. He ranks as the No. 100 prospect in the 2025 class, according to the On3 Industry Rankings, and is the No. 4 uncommitted safety.
Hayward has been high on the Tennessee Volunteers for a long time, as they were his first scholarship offer. Tennessee was his leader for quite some time, but official visit season caused many twists and turns at the top of his recruitment. The talented defender tallied 48 tackles, three for loss, and three interceptions during his junior campaign. He can play safety in college or grow into a linebacker at the next level. Hayward measures 6-foot-1 and 205 pounds.
While Hayward’s recruitment has been unpredictable in recent weeks, we ultimately believe the Volunteers will beat out the competition and land him on Saturday.
