From the moment that Josh Heupel was hired at Tennessee, people began pointing at Jalin Hyatt as a guy that should immediately benefit in the new offense. With good reason too — Hyatt flashed as a true freshman even in Jeremy Pruitt and Jim Chaney’s old-fashioned offense with struggling Jarrett Guarantano under center.
Right out of the gates against Bowling Green, Hyatt racked up four catches in the first quarter. After that? Not much — nothing, actually. Hyatt was injured against Pittsburgh, slowing his sophomore season all the way down to a halt.
By all reports, Hyatt is now healthy, but he’s seemingly fallen out of the top three in the receiver rotation.
