Background
Early life
Hairston was born on August 6, 2003, in West Bloomfield, Michigan. As a senior at West Bloomfield High School, he recorded 16 pass deflections, three interceptions, and three forced fumbles. Hairston committed to play college football at the University of Kentucky over other schools such as Kansas, Minnesota, Purdue, Virginia Tech, and Washington State.
College career
As a freshman in 2022, Hairston totaled two tackles. In the 2023 season opener, he forced a fumble as he helped Kentucky beat Ball State 44–14. The next week, Hairston recorded his first career interception in a win over Eastern Kentucky. In week three of the 2023 season, he led the team with seven tackles with one going for a loss in a win over Akron. In week four, Hairston set the single-game school record with two interceptions returned for touchdowns, as he helped Kentucky beat the Vanderbilt Commodores.
Legal issues
Hairston was accused of sexual assault in 2021 while attending the University of Kentucky. The offenses of first degree rape and first-degree burglary were investigated, but he was never criminally charged. During the time of the NFL Draft, Bills General Manager Brandon Beane claimed "all teams were aware of the Title IX thing. That was fully investigated by the school. There’s everything out. He even volunteered to a polygraph and had notes". In July 2025, a federal lawsuit was filed that alleged Hairston entered the victim's dormitory uninvited, ignored the victim's lack of interest in sexual intercourse, forcefully removed the victim's shorts and subsequently sexually assaulted her.
