Pitt HC Pat Narduzzi Issues Statement on Dayon Hayes Arrest
PITTSBURGH -- Pitt Panthers defensive end Dayon Hayes was arrested this weekend on charges that he assaulted his girlfriend, also the mother of his son, at an apartment in Pittsburgh following an argument.
The morning after, Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi issued a statement regarding Hayes' arrest. He said Hayes will be disciplined, but the details of that punishment will remain within the program.
“The incident involving Dayon Hayes is incredibly disappointing and concerning," Narduzzi said. "I take all disciplinary matters very seriously, and that is especially the case with situations of this kind. Our players know they are accountable for their actions, both on and off the field. I’ve conveyed this to Dayon, who will be immediately subject to team disciplinary measures in addition to any legal consequences that may arise. The details of that discipline will remain a private matter.”
Hayes had been a productive reserve defender for the Panthers this season despite missing some time with an injury. Hayes was not listed on this week's depth chart ahead of the Virginia game. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for November 22nd.
