Early years

edit

Haynes grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina and initially attended North Raleigh Christian Academy. He transferred to Virginia Episcopal School in Lynchburg, Virginia after his junior year in order to re-classify and gain an extra season of eligibility. He joined the football team at Virginia Episcopal and attracted the attention of college recruiters, ultimately committing to play college football at Wake Forest despite only playing one year of football. Since he had already reclassified as a junior, Haynes moved back to Raleigh and took extra courses at William G. Enloe High School in order to enter Wake Forest with his original class.[1]

College career

edit

Haynes spent five total seasons as a member of the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, redshirting his true freshman season. He started at right tackle as a redshirt freshman before moving to left guard for his final three seasons. He was named third-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) after his redshirt junior season and entered his redshirt senior year on the 2018 Outland Trophy watchlist. Over the course of his collegiate career, Haynes started 47 games for the Demon Deacons.[2]
