39 catches, 17tds thats 43.5897436% folks-not bad

 

[osugrad21]

Also, Rivals measurement of 6'2" is the shortest measure I have seen. He has a few articles citing him at 6'4"...he plans on hitting the Nike Combine at PSU this summer so an official measure is coming.

He also has a 4.44 40 yard dash cited, but has been clocked at 11.4 in the 100....those numbers don't match up.

Vidal confirms his offer from tOSU. He visited Boston College this past weekend and came away impressed. He calls tOSU "big time football" and said the program speaks for itself.

I think I read something where he said he was 6'2" but planned on working hard on putting on some height.
Nice post grad.... sounds like this kid has some Ginn-like qualities.

Biography: Hazelton plays wide receiver, defensive back, he returns kickoff’s and punts, and he even handles his teams placekicking chores. During his junior season Hazelton caught 39 passes for 780 yards, and 17 touchdowns. He intercepted four passes and returned two of them for scores. Hazelton also returned one kickoff for a touchdown. As a reward for his dominance, Hazelton was awarded All-Area status.

Scouting Report:Hazelton is incredibly polished as a wide receiver, He has Larry Fitzgerald ball skills, but blocks like Hines Ward. He runs crisp and precise routes. he seperates well, he is tough to bring down once he catches the ball. Very elusive in the open field for a large receiver.

Also, Rivals measurement of 6'2" is the shortest measure I have seen. He has a few articles citing him at 6'4"...he plans on hitting the Nike Combine at PSU this summer so an official measure is coming.

He also has a 4.44 40 yard dash cited, but has been clocked at 11.4 in the 100....those numbers don't match up.

Vidal confirmed written offers from Virginia, Maryland, Rutgers, Syracuse, Auburn, MSU, Boston College, Pittsburgh and Marshall, but tOSU and UNC have told him the offers were in the mail so he did not count those yet. The rest of the article is basically a Rutgers promotion containing no new information.

According to Mike Farrell of Rivals, Vidal was the most impressive WR at the PSU Nike Combine. His combination of size, speed, and athleticism made him stand out from the crowd.

At Wednesday's Elite College Combine, Vidal garnered Offensive MVP honors. The numerous DBs interviewed called him the most impressive, most aggressive, and best all-around WR at the combine.

I hope we send an official offer in writing...that is two great performances in a row for Vidal.
