Tommy Hatton took a blue collar approach to becoming an Under Armour All-American

Posted Sep 20, 2014
Tommy Hatton, St. Joseph Regional (Montvale, N.J.) offensive guard and Under Armour All-American, has come a long way since his freshman year. “I came to high school thinking wrestling was going to be my future,” said Hatton, a 6-2, 280-pound North Carolina commit. “I worked hard all throughout high school, working on strength and my craft. All I was hearing until after my junior year was I wasn’t that good, just overrated. “But I let my play do the talking.” (Newark Star-Ledger)
