is a defensive lineman who has been on my radar for a while now and continued to stand out on Saturday. He was very impressive during the 1v1 drills, being recognized as one of the top five defensive linemen at the camp. Hatfield showed the ability to use his strength to bull rush straight through opposing offensive lineman. He also showed the ability to use his pass rush moves to defeat blocks. Hatfield doesn’t currently hold any offers but he is a player who college coaches should keep an eye on heading into his senior year.

A wide-bodied 4-technique very well suited for B-gap responsibility versus single-blocks, double-teams and inside zone schemes, Hatfield also possesses the athleticism to align head up on an uncovered offensive tackle and assume base responsibilities off-tackle and establishing contain on runs or roll outs to his side. Versus his read lineman’s inside release, he does tend to work up field a bit and make himself somewhat susceptible to inside trap plays, but after collecting 38 solos, 29 assists, 3 tackles for loss and 1 sack in 15 games for the 14-1 Redhounds as a mere sophomore, let’s just say the ceiling is exceptionally high for further development and productivity over the next two seasons.
