Yale freshman linebacker Jordan Haynes will receive a 2008 High School Scholar-Athlete award at a National Football Foundation luncheon December 9 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York.

Haynes had a 4.6 grade point average at Jesuit High in Folsom, California and was a two-time football captain.

Haynes was one of seven freshmen to dress for Yale's 34-7 win at Dartmouth.
