OHIO STATE OFFICIAL BIO AND STATS

The No. 3-ranked player in the state of Colorado … second-team all-state in 2019 as a junior … had 233 yards receiving in his senior season … two-way player who also lined up at defensive end … an outstanding wrestler who was the 200 lb. Colorado state champion last winter with a 38-0 record … made the state finals as a sophomore in 2019 … is the son of Nancy and Pat Hart.

SI ALL-AMERICAN EVALUATION

Hart has the length and size to play as an attached tight end, yet also possesses ideal ball skills to be flexed out and impact the passing game. He’s also friendly to offensive tackles on combo blocks as a blocker. Hart projects well as a classic Y-tight end.

JOHN GARCIA, SI ALL-AMERICAN, ON HART

Ohio State likes to use classic tight end types within its offense and it has one committed in Hart. Armed with a big frame that can carry more weight, he gets in and out of his breaks well relative to his size and has enough athleticism to play detached from the line of scrimmage on occasion. Hart is a capable blocker with great extension, too.
