Jim Hammontree brings veteran guard grit to Dayton’s offensive front
A proven, experienced interior lineman, Jim Hammontree was a returning starter for Dayton and had already logged 10 games with six starts in the 2016 season and 11 games with seven starts in 2015, giving the Flyers real stability up front.[1][4][6] At 6-foot-2 and about 283 pounds, he profiles as a sturdy, dependable guard whose value shows up in consistency, leverage, and game-day toughness more than flashy box-score stats.[1][10] If you want an old-school trench warrior who knows the program and can help anchor the line, he’s the kind of fit coaches love.
