(Lincoln, NE) According to Sean Callahan of On3 Sports yesterday, former Aliquippa standout running back recruit Tikey Hayes was dismissed from the University of Nebraska program.

He joined the Cornhuskers college football team this summer after previously being at Penn State University and Iowa Western Community College.

Hayes was one of the top running backs in the country and he was rated as a four-star prospect by Rivals and a three-star by ESPN, 247 Sports, and On3 Sports while at Aliquippa.

He was also ranked as the No. 7 prospect in Pennsylvania and the No. 20 running back for the Class of 2025.
