Former Pittsburgh edge-rusher Dayon Hayes has committed to Colorado, according to Hayes Fawcett of On3.

Hayes had 45 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss and four sacks as a fourth-year senior in 2023. In explaining his decision to enter the transfer portal, he pointed to his lack of belief in Pitt's short-term fortunes.

"It's just that I don't believe we can win now," he said to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Christopher Carter. "I believe we [were going to] win games, but I believe we are [in] a developmental stage. And I just can't do that right now.
