Western Carolina Athletics Hall of Fame
Kerry Hayes - Football - (1991-94)
Hayes held the Western Carolina career all-purpose yard record with 5,617 yards while also holding the markers for most yards per play in a game, season, and career. At the time of his induction, was one of just six Catamounts all-time to garner first-team All-Southern Conference accolades three-or-more times in their WCU career, doing so in 1992, 1993 and 1994. Hayes was also a two-time, All-America recipient from the Associated Press, AFCA and The Sports Network, the first of only two WCU players to earn a consensus selection to the squad. He was selected to WCU's All-20th Century team as a kick returner. Hayes was selected to the Southern Conference 100th Anniversary Team in 2021.
