You do not see too many freshmen who are physically developed as much as Hatton is. Hatton is a good size standing 6'4 inches tall. Hatton has good strength and it shows at the point of attack At defensive end and tight end he shows good strength by engaging with other sides of the ball and controlling that player. Specifically, at the defensive end, he does a good job of using his hands to get on offensive linemen and then ripping through them. At tight end, he shows a good ability to block on the edge. Hatton also caught the ball well from the tight end position. Hatton showed good skills last year and should only grow from last year.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-659f42de1f0fc"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["216110"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='216110' first='Jayson' last='Nitz'] flashed some legit skills last year in spot duty for St. Joseph's Prep.
