Safeties coach Joe DeForest.

"There’s not many athletes that are blessed with his size and speed and the hands, and just the intangible that he has. We knew that he could be a Division I guy, and should be, from the first moment he walked on campus.”— Panther Creek head coach Sean Crocker.

• Very intriguing athlete with combination of size, leaping abilities and speed.

• Has good ball skills and playmaking abilities.

• Biggest question is how much will he grow and what his future position will ultimately be.

The fall of 2021 may be more about seeing how Hattley’s body and frame responds to NC State’s nutrition and strength program. That will go a long way to determining Hattley’s future in Raleigh. In the meantime, he has the prototype skills to potentially make a quick impact on special teams.
