Growing up in southern Florida, Von Hayes had more than a few options of a career path besides football. With his high school coach recruiting him because of his size, if this had never happened, what would Hayes have done with his career? Being someone who had always had a love of the local fauna and preserving the local eco-system, Hayes was always invested in spending his spare time among the Everglades, relaxing and soaking in all of the swamps natural beauty. When he attended Miami, he chose to pursuit a degree in ecological engineering, hoping to help develop more ways to keep the ecosystem healthy and unobstructed by the ever expanding need of homes for Florida residents. While leaving Miami after only two years, in his spare time he made sure to finish his degree for a future beyond football. One more option that was always in the back of Hayes mind, was becoming a teacher. Hayes was a natural leader, and had great natural intelligence. While likely not teaching below a high school level, in his professional career, Hayes has returned to Miami multiple times to give speeches, and assist with lessons when asked. Life is unpredictable though, Hayes could have gotten lazy, and ended up failing at many turns down the road, but he ended up having a successful career, with the option and opportunity to branch into a different career if he ever wanted to.
