Tuskegee signs former Alabama linebacker Tyler Hayes

TUSKEGEE, Alabama -- Tuskegee listed former Alabama linebacker Tyler Hayes as part of its 2018 recruiting class announced Wednesday on its athletic website.

Alabama dismissed Hayes and three other Crimson Tide players after they were charged with robbery of two Alabama students in February 2013.

Hayes and Eddie Williams confessed to robbing a student who was punched and kicked. Hayes made 14 tackles as a freshman in 2012 when the Crimson Tide won the second of back-to-back national titles.



Finishing third in the Mr. Football voting after leading Thomasville to the 2010 Class 4A state title, Hayes went to Butler Community College in Kansas before signing with Division II West Georgia in 2014.

West Georgia officials confirmed Thursday he didn't practice or play for the Wolves.

Hayes was later arrested in May 2015 for violating his probation, AL.com reported. He’s one of eight players from the state of Alabama going to Tuskegee.
