**Cambridge, MA** – Andrew Hayes, a Harvard Law student, is making a name for himself beyond the hallowed halls of academia. The Mississippi native secured his third consecutive victory on Jeopardy! on Friday, accumulating a three-day total of $72,202. He’ll return to defend his title on Monday, April 14.

Hayes, who defeated reigning champion Mike Dawson on April 9th, is a remarkable young scholar. Homeschooling laid the groundwork for his academic success, which saw him enrolling at the University of Mississippi at the astonishingly young age of 15, maintaining a perfect 4.0 GPA in Economics and International Studies. He later earned a Master’s degree in Political Economy of Europe from the London School of Economics. Currently, Hayes serves as editor-in-chief of the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy while pursuing his doctorate.

During his Jeopardy! run, Hayes revealed some surprising personal details. He confessed to never having heard Ariana Grande’s hit song, “break up with your girlfriend, I’m bored,” and shared anecdotes from his childhood, including playing Baby Jesus in a Christmas pageant and participating in a moot court judged by Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. He plans to use his winnings to travel to Germany.

While his future plans remain uncertain, Hayes is considering a career in academia or policy analysis. He remains tight-lipped about his personal life, keeping details about his relationships private.
