Career highlights and awards

Mitch Hyatt (born February 6, 1997) is an American football offensive tackle for the Clemson Tigers.

High school career

A native of Sugar Hill, Georgia, Hyatt attended North Gwinnett High School, where he was three-year starter at left tackle for the Bulldogs, and an All-American offensive lineman as a senior. In Hyatt's sophomore year, North Gwinnett faced defending state champion Grayson in the second round of the GHSA Class 6A playoffs, upsetting them 28–10,[1] as Hyatt reportedly played Grayson's blue chip defensive end Robert Nkemdiche “to a draw.”[2] After an All-State junior season, in which he helped pave the way for North’s run to a GHSA Class 6A state runner-up finish, Hyatt verbally committed to Clemson.[3]

College career

Listed first team on the depth chart entering August camp, Hyatt was scheduled to become the first freshman since Barry Richardson in 2004 to start on the offensive line for Clemson.[4] In fact, he started the season opener against Wofford at left tackle, the first true-freshman to do so for the Tigers since since Phil Prince in 1944.[5]

Personal

His uncle, Dan Benish, was an All-ACC defensive tackle and a starter on Clemson’s 1981 National Championship team.[4]
