Overall
Hayden Hurst is a 24-year-old junior. He was torn between baseball and football before deciding to fully commit to football. As a football player, Hurst is resilient and plays hard every down. He catches everything thrown his way and can rack up the yards after the catch. He is great as a run blocker but needs to improve his pass protection. He should be a 2nd or 3rd round pick.
