Jonathan, who is committed to Texas A&M, still found a way to put on a show despite battling cramps throughout the game. Every time he touched the ball, he made something happen running with power, vision, and that extra burst that separates him from the pack. Even when he wasn’t at 100%, Jonathan’s ability to rack up yards on the ground proved why he’s headed to the SEC and why defenses have a hard time slowing him down.

Hatton is one of the best running backs in the entire country and has been electric to start the 2025 season, totaling over 460 yards and 7 TDs in 3 games. The Knights’ dynamic threat possesses an extremely rare combination of size and speed. He runs behind his pads with great vision and cutback ability. Jonathan is nearly impossible to get down, breaking tackles and utilizing elite footwork. The future Aggie should be in store for another big one tonight.

Jonathan is a big, strong running back awho also has great speed and quickness. He’s tough to bring down and knows how to find the right holes to run through. Last season, he averaged over 9 yards every time he touched the ball and scored 20 touchdowns, showing he’s a consistent playmaker.
What stands out is how he combines power with agility he can run between the tackles but also bounce outside and make defenders miss. He’s got good patience and vision to read blocks and hit his spots fast.
Choosing Texas A&M shows he’s ready for big time college football, and he should make an impact early with his blend of size, speed, and physical running style.

. is a force in the backfield—standing 6′1″, tipping the scales near 215 lbs, and boasting four-star status and a recent commitment to Texas A&M on March 22, 2025. A high‑volume workhorse, he rushed for 1,147 yards and 14 touchdowns across 12 games during the 2024 season, averaging over 95 yards per game while ranking among the top rushers in the region and state . His commitment capped a torrent of recruitment attention: he earned 30+ Division I offers before making his pledge.
On the field, Hatton blends power, fluidity, and vision in a rare combination. Prep Redzone scouts describe him as “a grown man on the football field,” highlighting his ability to break arm tackles, burst through creases, and finish runs with authority. Whether powering up the middle or making defenders miss in second level traffic, he consistently imposes his will. His junior year growth in strength and breakaway capability has added another dimension—he can now rip off explosive gains and drag multiple defenders into the secondary.
What sets Hatton apart isn’t just statistics or frame—it’s his complete back skill set. He passes NFL-style eye tests with competitive instincts, contact balance, and even pass-catching ability. Texas Football dubbed him “one of the top RB prospects in the Lone Star State,” and A&M touted his “electric juice” in their program fit. His leadership shows up in max-effort finishes on every play, and he’s viewed as a foundational piece for heavy-duty collegiate rushing attacks. As a 2026 running back,

The junior from Steele is a grown man on the football field. The 6’1 215 pound Oklahoma commit is having a great season, averaging 9 yards per carry. I’d compare him to a Mack Truck, but that doesn’t do him any justice with his 10.6 100-meter speed. Hatton is a STUD! The Steele Knights have the ability to make it to the State Finals this year and this 1000+ yard back has been a huge factor in what the defensive coordinators are game planning for. This leads to opening up the offense for the Knights and that’s when all his D1-caliber teammates chip in to light up scoreboards. This young man is built to play on Saturdays, time will tell, but he looks like someone we’ll see on Sundays as well. Sorry, not sorry!
