Former Tennessee Vols running back Aaron Hayden had a message for the "haters" on Monday evening after his son, Dallan, committed to Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes. 

Dallan, a former four-star recruit who signed with the Ohio State Buckeyes out of high school, entered the NCAA transfer portal earlier this month. He spent the first two seasons of his career with the Buckeyes. The Younger Hayden rushed for 553 yards as a true freshman in 2022, before rushing for 110 yards in 2023 after receiving just 19 carries. 

"For those of you who think you know best and must be haters! You don't know who or what goes on in the building of your own program," wrote Aaron Hayden on Twitter/X.com. "So how the hell you know Coach Prime’s? This is my 3rd time!" 

When Dallan entered the NCAA transfer portal, there was some speculation that Tennessee, which is need of some running back depth, might target the Vol legacy. But it appears the Vols never showed any serious interest. And Dallan, meanwhile, was just looking for a good situation where he could continue his college career.
