Hale has a good build for a linebacker and has started to turn the corner in his development. He plays with strong hands and can make an impact against the run by taking on blocks and working his way to the football. He does a nice job getting off blockers and rarely misses tackles once he gets his hands on a ball carrier. There’s a reliability to his game that stands out, as he consistently handles his responsibilities and puts himself in a position to make plays. Coaches always value players they can trust, and Hale is starting to look like one of those guys.

– Phenomenal physique for a Linebacker/Running Back on this level

– Played Running Back and was on the Defensive Line this yeat

– Plays with that hunting dog mentality, where he’s going to do whatever it takes to get where he needs to go

– Versatile player, but I think he’ll be at Mike Linebacker
