Local safety Chase Hattley commits to NC State
NC State Wolfpack football continued to solidify its future secondary by landing a commitment Tuesday afternoon from three-star safety Chase Hattley of Panther Creek High in Cary, N.C. The 6-foot-3, 205-pounder had narrowed his list down to three, including Oklahoma and South Carolina among his finalists.
Rivals.com ranks Hattley as the No. 34 prospect in the state of North Carolina.
Hattley is a playmaker for Panther Creek High. Last season, he caught seven passes for 161 yards, an average of 23.0 yards per catch, and three touchdowns. He also ran for a score and returned five punts for an average of 22.0 yards.
However, Hattley was a prized prospect on defense. He made 29 tackles (19 solo), including two for loss from his safety position, while also intercepting nine passes and breaking up five more. He forced one fumble that was returned for a TD by a teammate and recovered another. Panther Creek finished 6-6.
Hattley also competes in the jumps in track and field, boasting personal bests of 6-foot-4 in the high jump, 43-1 in the triple jump and 21-3.5 in the long jump.
Hattley becomes the Wolfpack’s 19th verbal commitment in the 2021 class.
