You will see him as a pulling guard, he is definitely not afraid to get dirty in there and you will see him making a lot of pancake [blocks].” UConn Randy Edsall has mentioned that defensive linemen aren’t exactly volunteering to go head to head with Haynes and that the 6-foot-4, 304-pound redshirt freshman has a toughness and mean streak in his play that is similar to some of the linemen on Edsall’s teams during his first stint with the Huskies. “I like his toughness, his ability to pick things up,” Edsall said. “He’s got the attitude that you really want to have there with the people up front.”<< [/QUOTE]
