GREAT FALLS, Mont. – The University of Providence men's soccer program announced that Colby Hayes has committed to the team.

Hayes joins the program from Thunder Basin High School in Gillette, Wyo. He played football and wrestling alongside soccer in high school. Named All-Conference as a senior, he led his team to a runner-up finish at the Wyoming 4A State Championship. 

"Kolby is a player we believe can add to our goal-scoring opportunities," interim head coach Danny Burstein said. "He has some positional versatility but is an attack-minded player, which is an area that we needed to bolster for this upcoming season.  His strong technical abilities and eye for creating chances will aid in our offensive output."

Hayes graduated with honors. He plans to study exercise science at Providence.
