The Tunnel

Hamilton is playing DT for Rutgers and that is where he will play in his college career. They tried him out at DE and he just wasn't "getting it". As a 3rd down DT, he is effective... he has great hands and is quicker than pretty much any DT in the country. But that is about it... he is not an every-down DT and I'm not sure that he has the frame to grow into an every-down DT in the future. With Rutgers move to the Big Ten, it will only get harder for him as he will regularly face 300+ linemen. Right now he is about 260lbs with not much more room to grow.

For the bowl game, he shouldn't be a major concern.

For as highly as he was ranked he never stood out to me as much as I would have thought on film. I still was hoping we would have a shot with him and was just assuming my evaluation skills were weak, but I'm not terribly surprised he made a position switch. He seemed like a good kid and I hope it works out for him though, sometimes it just takes guys time to adjust, Corey Marshall comes to mind for us.
