Bio
2016: Appeared in the first three games of the season with two starts before a groin injury sidelined him for the rest of the year. Had four tackles, all against Saint Augustine's on the year.
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.
