Mitch Hyatt, OT, Clemson #75

6052, 305, 5.08


Notes: From Suwanee, GA. Immediate starter as a true freshman in 2015. Enters 2017 with 43 games and 42 career starts.

Positives: Smart, fundamentally sound, experienced and consistent performer. Generally mirrors and slides well in pass protection. Locks out, sinks his hips and moves his feet. Understands the game. Proficient run blocker. Gets position and sustains blocks nicely. Can move and block in space. Gets to the second level. Has faced a lot of quality pass rushers and won a lot of those one-on-one battles.

Negatives: Gets beaten occasionally by elite speed off the edge. Is not truly massive, dominant or powerful. Lacks great anchor strength and ballast.

Summary: Solid left tackle prospect. Good fit in a zone-blocking scheme. More consistent than dominant.
