This is from late last week but I thought I would pass along in case you missed it. 5-star USC LB commit Daelin Hayes was one of 10 players to make our annual list of "Physical Freaks."
Here's what Josh Helmholdt had to say about Hayes:
USC commit Mique Juarez also made the list, with @Adam Gorney saying:

Here's what Josh Helmholdt had to say about Hayes:
When Hayes first rose to five-star status, he had only a handful of varsity games under his belt. What he did have, though, was a rare combination of size and athleticism. This past spring, we measured Hayes at 6-foot-3 and 254 pounds -- huge for a high school linebacker prospect. And yet, when considering who to compare his game to, the best answer is probably Notre Dame's Jaylon Smith, a player known for his range and ability to play in space. Hayes' speed and coverage skills from the linebacker position defy his measurables, and make him one of the most impressive physical specimens in the 2016 class.
USC commit Mique Juarez also made the list, with @Adam Gorney saying:
Juarez is a hitting machine on defense and has tremendous athleticism and speed to play sideline-to-sideline. The top player in California can come up, fill the hole and make a devastating hit or he can track players down because of his speed and versatility. He also plays quarterback in high school and BYU likes him at that position -- it compared him to Taysom Hill -- so Juarez really brings a whole lot to the table.
