Big-bodied, quietly reliable UAB line piece with special-teams value
In the 2024 season, Hadfield was a 6-foot-5, 300-pound redshirt sophomore who played in all 12 games for UAB, logging special-teams snaps on punt coverage and PAT units while helping the Blazers’ kicker go a perfect 31-for-31 on extra points and the punter post a 43.7-yard average, the fourth-best mark in school history[1]. He looks like a developmental offensive lineman with real frame and durability, and his value is the unflashy kind coaches love: dependable availability, functional size, and the ability to contribute while he grows into a bigger role[1][9].
