<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>ORLANDO –</strong> Last week when Rivals.com took their camp and combine to Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas for the Miami stop in this annual showcase, very little attention was paid to<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1682747' first='Aiden' last='Hartnett']</strong>. Things changed this past Sunday at Bishop Moore Catholic High School.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Under Armour Next event – with many of the same prospects that competed under a different umbrella the week before looked at the 6'3, 285-pound Plantation American Heritage line prospect a bit differently as he would bring home the MVP award, and while it was a week later, showed the coaches, recruiting analysts and media that he is indeed one of the best in the nation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>To understand how hard this quality prospect has worked the past two years while helping to lead his team to a state championship is something that very few had a clue about.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He attends every event, works year-round and even started to wrestle to give himself more of an advantage as a line prospect. What he did on Sunday in Orlando was no different than what he did the week before – just miles from his home in Fort Lauderdale. The difference this week is more people watched him win one-on-one battles and make the most of his opportunities.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On addition to what he does on the football field, “Big Country”, as he is called by many, also has made an impact in the classroom with a 3.8 Grade Point Average.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Aiden&nbsp;Hartnett, Plantation American Heritage.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE:</strong> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17994260/Aiden-Hartnett" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>https://www.hudl.com/profile/17994260/Aiden-Hartnett</strong></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><br>HARTNETT LEADS THE WAY FOR 2027 PROSPECTS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While Hartnett brought home the MVP, he wasn't the only who was impressive on this day.
