Mickey Plyler on Hyatt: It is rare to see offensive linemen play as true freshmen but Hyatt is a rare talent. He has everything you can look for in an offensive lineman. He has great feet and quickness. Hyatt is polished in his technique. There are few offensive linemen that arrive with this type of skill set.
