Hailey Selected As Nominee For AFCA Good Works Team

NORTHBROOK, Ill. (AFCA/SMU) – Mustang linebacker Shaine Hailey was today announced as a nominee for the 2021 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team. The award recognizes candidates for their exemplary community service, alongside their academic dedication and impact on and off the field.

He is also the co-leader of the Feeding Homeless Initiative for the organization.

In four seasons on the Hilltop, Hailey has played in 43 games and helped the Mustangs to three bowl appearances. He has registered 55 tackles, including 7.5 for loss and 1.5 sacks. Hailey has also added an interception, forced fumble and fumble recovery.

Hailey graduated from SMU with a degree in economics with financial applications and is working toward his masters in management.
