Hadnot was a ball hawk FS back in 2024 where he picked off 8 balls. He did a great job patrolling the back half of the field as a FS and played that “centerfield” role extremely well to take away the vertical threat. Good route and concept recognition with disciplined eyes which allowed to him to get a good jump on the ball to undercut throws or use that recovery speed to put himself in position to make plays. I like his range and IQ for a young Safety, and he’ll be touted with high expectation coming off a strong sophomore season.

Hadnot is a speedy, rangy FS that excelled in the redzone by frequently picking off and breaking up passes in the back half. He patrols the back half and plays that centerfield type of position extremely well- frequently showcasing that top end speed. Good eye discipline with great route recognition to lock up receivers downfield and knows when to turn and look for ball. The definition of a ball hawk DB at the 4A level but also showed some glimpses of flying up and laying a big hit on opponents when he can get squared up.

Hadnot debuts in the rankings after leading the 2027 class in interceptions with eight while adding 56 total tackles. At 6’0” 170 lbs. he plays the center field safety position well where he can use his range and good eyes to anticipate throws and get an early break on the ball. He shows plus instincts and efficient angles in coverage to close space and put himself in good positioning to play the ball at the catch point. Strong ball skills, he’s able to time out his jump and out compete opponents to win at the high point. One to watch as he develops and progresses over the next several years.
