(Aliquippa, PA) On Wednesday, two standout Aliquippa football players, Tiqwai Hayes and Arison Walker signed their letters of intention to play college football. Hayes, a running back for the Aliquippa Quips, who received offers from Pitt as well as other well-known colleges from the programs in the Power Four Conferences, committed to Penn State University last year after eclipsing more than 7,000 yards through his senior season, one of the best in the history of the already standout Aliquippa football program. Hayes will also graduate this December as one of the first students to do so, as well as leaving Aliquippa with a grade point average of 4.1 to go along with his commitment to Penn State, in which Hayes found them to be a standout school. Walker, a senior Aliquippa Quips defensive back, chose St. Francis University of Pennsylvania after a longer decision in which he confirmed that both God and his family helped with making. Walker comes from a football family, and two of his relatives played Division I football, as Larry Walker was a four-year defensive back for Albany, while DJ Walker is playing at Ohio University as a red-shirt freshman.
