Isaiah Hamilton received a 71.6 grade from Pro Football Focus in 2023.
Inside Texas provided a scouting report on Hamilton. Here’s what Charlie Williams thinks of the newest Rebels’ game.
“Hamilton is great in zone coverage and diagnoses the play well. He jumps routes often, a high-risk, high-reward strategy,” Williams said. “His film displays his unique speed and twitch. He competes for the football and has great hands to make a play.”
In 2022, Hamilton was First Team All-SWAC at Texas Southern.
He had five interceptions for the Tigers, including two pick-sixes. Also had 30 tackles and 10 pass breakups. At Channelview, he had 640 all-purpose yards in three seasons and grabbed 11 touchdown receptions as a senior.
