'20 SC WR Jalin Hyatt (UT SIGNEE)

Hyatt is more like Percy Harvin in that he is smaller and faster than everyone.

Wideman is more like Yves Pons in that he is the most athletic guy you've ever played against.
Desean Jackson was about the exact same size as Hyatt coming out of HS. I think Percy Harvin was a little thicker than you think.

I wasn't saying they were the same size, but the concern about both was size. I stand by it as Harvin was 5'11 about 170 coming out of HS.

Rivals had him at 188, and his high school had him at 184. He weighed in at 202 at the combine. He definitely didn't put on 30+ lbs while at UF.

I don't know what to say to you? He was a small fast WR was my only point. I still stand by it! Quit arguing MY analogy. Want to do your own comparison then do it, but I'm done arguing with you.

This is not an argument dude. I was just offering to you why Desean Jackson is a much better comparison. Not only in stature and build, but if you watch Hyatt's highlights and then compare to Harvin's high school and college highlights... then do the same with Jackson's high school and college highlights, you just might agree. But calm down. It's not that crucial. We're all fans of the same kid that's going to ball out for our favorite team.

You don't seem to understand that I wasn't comparing their styles. Just saying that Hyatt is a smaller super fast WR. That's it!

I gotcha. A more recent comparison is probably Devonta Smith at Bama. Not for argument sake, just naming kids with his size and similar speed that have had big time numbers at WR.

Exactly, the only knock I hear about him is size. There are plenty of examples of smallish WRs doing big things because of their speed. I'm really excited about this kids future. He has speed we haven't seen in a long time!
 
You can't teach speed, and this guy has both track and football speed. Haven't had someone like this at WR in a long time, because he can run routes and catch too. Chaney knows how to utilize elite WRs, so I have no doubt we see Hyatt get the ball early and often.

6' ~180 lbs isn't that small either.
 
Just read the VIP 247 article on Hyatt. He’s added 8 pounds during quarantine and is up to 178. Taking in about 3800 calories a day & working out constantly. Said he hopes to be about 185. He’s been making sure to time himself plenty and said he’s not lost a bit of his speed with the weight gain. Remember, he was clocked at the Opening Regional in Charlotte at a laser timed 4.31 👀👀👀

Love the apparent dedication from the incoming VOLS. Really shows the character of men Pruitt is recruiting.
 

Love this, “My family, I think they were more committed than me, to be honest with you,” he said with a laugh. “I think they were committed more than me. And once they had the family, they had me. If my family’s happy, I’m happy. It was more of a family thing."

Also, "We have the quarterback. I believe in whoever’s going to be the quarterback." 😂

I love the part where he flat out said UGA tried to come in last minute and get him to not sign early. Kirby is a piece of negative recruiting 💩 and for the record for the lurkers. This is another one that UGa and Bama wanted, that we got.
 
Tee Martin, the Vols’ wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator, has made it clear to the 6-foot-1, 178-pound Hyatt that he will have a relatively clear path to early playing time once he gets to Tennessee. Hyatt naturally still has some work to do to put himself in position to play as a freshman. But the Vols are hoping he might be able to contribute, if not start, at an important position in their offense.

“(Martin) told me I have a good (chance) to start,” said Hyatt. “They have me at the slot, so I’m learning the slot plays and some outside — but mostly slot, where Jauan played. “With (offensive coordinator Jim) Chaney’s offense, the slot is the big key in his offense, so I have to be ready. I have to come in there, do whatever they ask, and I just have to be ready, on point, stay focused. “But I believe I’ll be ready. I did the work for it. I’ve got the pounds on me a little bit now. And, plus, when I get to Tennessee, (I will) add more.”

After spending the past few months during the COVID-19 pandemic working to add some weight to his lean frame, he said he’s now up to 178 pounds. He said he’s “really thinking that, before the first game, I can be at least 185, 186” — a weight that, in his mind, would allow him to play with the physicality necessary to make plays in the SEC. But Hyatt knows that’s not the only thing he still needs to do to get ready for his freshman season.

Tennessee rising junior cornerback Bryce Thompson is one of Hyatt’s close friends and a former Dutch Fork teammate. Hyatt said Thompson already has talked with him about the adjustments he’ll face to playing at the SEC level.

Bryce Thompson, he lives maybe 1 minute from me,” Hyatt said. “He’s back (at home), and we had a good talk about me coming in as a freshman, since he did it already. The biggest thing that I think — even what he said — is the speed of the game. “The speed of the game changes — completely different. It’s just completely faster, so I have to make sure when I get there I’m on point with the plays.”

Speed shouldn’t be a problem for Hyatt, who was timed at 4.31 seconds in the 40-yard dash more than a year ago at The Opening Regional just outside Charlotte, N.C. But he knows that playing against players who have the speed to keep up with him will require him to be sharp in his execution.

That means spending plenty of time learning the playbook and adjusting to Tennessee’s offense going into this season. “I’ve got to learn the plays when I get there, so I’m going to learn the plays, stay in the film room, do whatever Coach Martin wants me to do and make sure I’m ready for the next level, the next speed of the game,” Hyatt said. “That’s the biggest key.”

All the other fanbases taking personal shots at Bryce Thompson after his life mistake didn’t do their programs any favors with this kid. Think I understand the ire that family has toward SC’s program now...since they heaped out the most vicious vitriol.
