Expert Analysis
Matt Tate | Prep Redzone Scout
The recent Wyoming commit measures in at 5’10 170-pounds. He had 35 receptions for 532 yards with 8 touchdowns, even gaining some defensive reps getting himself a sack. He has very good athletic ability due to elite speed, change of direction, very good acceleration, and jumping. Very good release with quick twitch ability. Demolishes the press jam with ease. Very good separation quickness, consistently outrunning the DB. Very good ball tracking and catching. Strong hands to pluck the ball out of the air. Very good adjustment and body control. He shows how slippery and elusive he is both before and after the catch. Good blocking and will run out in front of his running back to block. Great receiver who is a threat to score anytime. Wyoming is getting a good one, and I believe Landrum-Hamilton is going to have a big year next season.

Landrum-Hamilton is a versatile receiving threat capable of lining up both inside and outside, creating mismatches across the field. His precise route running and acceleration make him difficult to cover in man to man situations, while his ability to separate quickly helps keep the offense on schedule. When he is lined up in the slot, Landrum-Hamilton can exploit coverage gaps and turn short receptions into long gains. Against Regis Jesuit, his ability to make an early impact could set the tone for the Bruins passing attack. If he catches fire, expect him to become an X-factor not just in this game, but in shaping the offense’s success all season long.

Hamilton is set to become a nightmare for the centennial league DB’s this season as he is now at Cherry Creek. Known for his speed, Hamilton creates separation with ease, making him a constant deep threat. Once he gets the ball in his hands, he’s even more dangerous, being a game changer and creating explosive plays for the offense. With his ability to stretch the field and now having the states top receiver on the opposite side, this team is setup to make another run at the championship this season.

Hamilton is in my opinion one of the top receivers in the state that was able to make a statement in a big way last year, almost cracking the 1,000 yard mark as a freshman. He has a lot of speed and can create separation with his route running ability. With a year under his belt, I think the game will slow down even more for him and he will be one of the top receivers in 4A. He has a wide catch radius and is a dawg that will be taking the state by storm.

Landrum-Hamilton came halfway through the event due to track or he would have been a candidate for WR MVP. He was able to show his quickness being explosive off of the line of scrimmage. He was in and out of his cuts quickly and got on top of defenders in a hurry. He was able to create separation with his route running ability, he is a young player that will look to climb the state rankings this season.
