He was impressive on both sides of the ball. He is a tough guy to bring down one on one from the RB position. If he doesn't just lower his shoulder and run over tacklers, he will use a stiff arm to throw them off. A beast from the MLB spot with good vision and accelerates to the ball carry. Does a good job covering passing routes.

Good build with strong legs. Very elusive in the pocket and is always a threat to tuck and run. An accurate passer that has the arm strength to make the throws to the outside and well as deep.  He was the Region 4-4A POY last season for Troup County.

Strong runner with great acceleration and change of direction. Physical and explodes through defenders. Outstanding film. If you don't wrap up and take this guy down at the line of scrimmage he has breakaway speed and puts 20 yards between himself and the nearest defender.

Has real quick feet and change of direction and explodes through the hole. Has break away speed once he gets to the 2nd level. Did a good job in coverage not allowing the WR's too have room.

Athletic build that is a fearless North-South runner. Ran through several tackles from bigger defenders and accelerates quickly after contact, clocked at 4.5 in the 40. Placed 3rd this year in the long jump at the State Finals (21 4.5). Excellent student and person off the field.

Passes the eye test, great build with strong lower body. Does a good job keeping the space between himself and blockers with arm extension. Was one of the best at the camp throwing blockers off to pursue the ball carrier and make a tackle. Good vision and once he makes a decision he accelerates well to the ball. Three sport athlete and earned the Region Iron Man Award in '22. Would be a good fit at high academic schools as he carries a 4.0 gpa.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-649660f37c65f"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/JonahHatchett">Follow [player_tooltip player_id='860269' first='Jonah' last='Hatchett']</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Ty Griffin ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Alexander Cougars","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"2024 6'0 200 LB/TE/WR: Played mostly TE on the offensive side of the ball last year but is transitioning over to the LB spot this year.
