Jaren Hamilton On3 Scouting Summary

The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Jaren Hamilton:

“Explosive pass catcher with big play ability as a downfield threat. Checked in around 6-foot, 190-pounds prior to his senior season. A top sprinter who placed 4th in the 200 meters at the state meet with a strong 21.56 second mark. Transfers that long speed over to the field. A natural long-strider who explodes out of his stance. Shows the ability to consistently create separation downfield. Also flashes some quickness in releases against press coverage.

“Flashes good downfield tracking skills and ability to make plays on the ball in traffic. Runs hard after the catch. While highly efficient when targeted, does not have quite the target share or production as some other blue-chip receivers. Transferred to a more established high school program prior to his senior year.”
