Bio

2015: Sidelined with an injury, redshirted. 

HIGH SCHOOL: Hayden Hester comes to Carson-Newman after playing two ways on the line at Midway for coach Joe Campbell.  Hester tallied 79.5 tackles, 10.5 sacks and 18.5 tackles for loss as a senior for the Green Wave. Hester was a two-time all-state selection, a two-time all-district selection and the District 3A defensive and offensive lineman of the year in 2013 and 2014. He earned first team all-PrepXtra accolades as a senior and was a team captain and the defensive MVP of the East-West All-Star game.  He also played in the Tennessee v. Kentucky Border Bowl and was a team captain for the game. 

PERSONAL: The son of Paul and Melinda Hester, Hayden plans to study criminal justice at C-N.  He was a nominee for the Roane County Youth Leadership.  He says he selected Carson-Newman because it was the best place for him to grow "spiritually, mentally and physically.
