Hatton has the ability to see playing time on both sides of the ball over the next few years. He sees the field well and is a player who has the patience needed to play the running back spot. Meanwhile, from the linebacker spot he has the agility and quickness to shed blocks and get into the opposing offensive backfield. He is a player to watch out for over the next few years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1542412' first='Kobe' last='Dotson']-Linebacker-Mountain Home-6'1” 210-Pounds-2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1542412' first='Kobe' last='Dotson'] has hit the offseason hard for the Mountain Home Bombers.
