Hegwood gave the Roncalli defense a boost in areas where they needed it this year. He was a key turnover creator for them and got the offense the ball back a bunch of times. He’s physical in the trenches and has no issue getting off blocks. His 81 total tackles, 4 interceptions, 1 forced fumble, and 1 recovered fumble all point to him tracking the ball well and punching it out when. It’s in his face. Defenses need guys like Hegwood, and it was good to see that level of play in year 1.

Hegwood is intruiging because he’s such a good raw athlete. He’s versatile, has good speed, can bend, and has fairly good size for someone in the 2nd and 3rd levels. He’s able to cover sideline to sideline and being a multi-sport athlete really helps him here. I’ve got him set at LB, but that’s because longterm size I think he moves up, but he played all over the field last year including the backend. His 81 tackles and 4 interceptions were a fantastic start to get the ball rolling.
