2022 ALL-CAA FOOTBALL FIRST TEAM: Jaaron Hayek, Villanova, WR, Sr.,...Hayek played in each of the Wildcats first eight games and amassed 810 yards and eight touchdowns on 36 receptions. He averaged 102.5 yards per game and became only the fourth receiver in Villanova history to average over 100 yards per game for a full season. The others to achieve that mark were Wildcats standouts Mike Siani (1970), Brian Finneran (1996, 1997) and Brian Westbrook (1998). Hayek tallied four games with at least 120 receiving yards this season and he had the best game of his career at Maine on October 1 to help Villanova post a 45-20 victory.In the Maine game, Hayek had career highs of 159 yards and four touchdowns, including a career-long 83-yard touchdown reception. The performance against Maine made Hayek the Wildcats third receiver ever to have at least four touchdown catches in a game, joining Siani (five against Xavier in 1971) and former teammate Changa Hodge (four against Delaware in 2019). Hayek's 810 yards on the year rank 14th in a season in school history despite missing the last three games of the year. At the time of his injury he was ranked fifth in the FCS in receiving yards per game, sixth in total receiving yards and eighth in receiving touchdowns. All three of his marks in those categories also led the CAA through the first nine weeks of the 2022 campaign. - Villanova Football
