2025 four-star safety Lagonza Hayward (Lyons, Ga.) has the Tennessee Volunteers as a finalist and will come off the board later this summer.

Toombs County High School safety Lagonza Hayward has been a major attraction for Power-4 coaches this offseason. The Tennessee Volunteers were viewed as his leader for some time, but a recent official visit with the Georgia Bulldogs could have changed that.

Regardless, Hayward has officially set a commitment date to choose between his top schools. He confirmed with On3 that he will commit on August 7th, 2024.

Hayward spoke with Dawgs Daily's Brooks Austin during Austin's spring recruiting tour and updated us on where things stand with his top schools. Hayward will officially visit Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and USC in the coming months before deciding where to play his college football. While his world has quickly changed, he hasn't forgotten how his recruitment began. "This time around last year, I had one offer," Hayward explained to Austin. "Talking to multiple schools brought my energy up like I could do this. I will decide by talking to all the coaches and picking at their brains, knowing what they know and their character."
