2014 Immokalee (Fla.) athlete Jimmy Bayes was with his team at the Dolphins 7 on 7 tournament in hopes of capturing the title.
“Were trying to make the top 8, were trying to win games and thats pretty much it just make plays.”
Bayes practiced with his team this spring to get better as he was on both sides of the ball as a receiver and a linebacker.
“Yeah we got better, we pretty much ran the same offense. We learned the defense pretty good and were just trying to work now.”
The 6’3 190 pound dual athlete has no preference for his position and feels it makes him better that he master both skills.
“No, I think that by playing multiple positions it will help me get on the field faster.”
The Immokalee star recently participated in one of the Al Golden football camps and talked about his time in Miami.
“It was good, I’ve been to Miami before so nothing has changed. I liked the stuff they’ve built for the student athletes, because you know your a student first before an athlete. So that’s always good.”
Bayes enjoyed working with the hurricanes coaches and talking with them. He had high remarks for the coaching staff.
“They’re good. They want to make the program better, they’re looking for good players to bring back the tradition that Miami’s known for. It’s always good when you have a coach that wants to make the program better.”
While he remains committed to USF, Bayes still has plans to visit more schools during this summer.
“I’m Planning on going to Louisville, USC, Miami again, USF, Florida and Kentucky.”
When asked what it’s going to take for Canes’ to jump the Bulls, two big factors are going to play a role.
“It’s hard to say right now, but it depends on how they’re going to use me and when they’re going to use me as far as playing time.”
*Bayes is looking for a good environment, and looking for a place with the right major.
*Currently does not hold an offer from Miami
