Description
Matthew Hayball (born 12 March 1997) is an Australian professional American football punter. He has previously played in the National Football League (NFL) for the New Orleans Saints. He played college football for the Florida Atlantic Owls and Vanderbilt Commodores. He previously was an Australian rules football player who was drafted by the Geelong Football Club, although he was delisted without having appeared in an Australian Football League (AFL) game.
Early life and Australian rules football career
Hayball was born on 12 March 1997 and grew up in West Adelaide, Australia. His father played in the Central Australian Football League. He attended Sacred Heart College in Adelaide from grades 7 to 12. He grew up playing Australian rules football, being a midfielder, and he was a member of the West Adelaide Football Club U18s in the 2015 season, with two games at the reserve level towards the end of the year.
Hayball was the final pick of the 2015 AFL national draft, chosen 70th overall by the Geelong Football Club. His selection was seen as a surprise, with the club website noting that "He was so far off the radar prior to the draft that after his name was called out AFL.com.au had no information on him other than his name, age and club." He played three years for the club, appearing in 50 matches in the Victorian Football League (VFL). He was also selected by Geelong in the second round (30th overall) of the 2018 AFL rookie draft. Following the 2018 season, he was delisted, having not played any games in the Australian Football League (AFL) during his time with Geelong.
