"He can force turnovers when the team needs it most ... " So why was Ohio one of the worst in the country at creating turnovers this year? "Hagan is a very strong tackler who can wrap up ... " This guy must have only watched highlight reels. Hagan hasn't been a strong tackler since he arrived in Athens. The guy also referred to him as a heat-seeking missile ... that is more accurate. Hagan literally tries to destroy anything he sees ... which, in some cases, is great. In others ... when a simple tackle is necessary ... you see him getting dragged down the field for 5-7 extra yards. I still don't think Hagan gets drafted ... but will get his shot as an UDFA in a mini-camp/training camp. I hope it works out. The more Bobcats in the NFL, the better! But I'm in the camp that he was over-hyped after a really impressive freshman year. I'm not saying he was bad ... but he just wasn't as good as many made him out to be. This may be too broad ... but if he was that good, why did Ohio's secondary as a whole stink for a good part of his four years?

It was horrible because there are four/five other guys in the secondary who couldn’t get their head around to save their life. If you watch film, he’s caused some fumbles that haven’t went our way. Also, I’d like to see the percentage on how many times the ball was thrown his way, it didn’t seem like it happened very often.

A Forced Fumble is credited if the ball is recovered by the defense or not, so regardless of wether or not the “fumble went our way” as you suggest, Hagan forced 7 Fumbles in his 4 years, but 5 of those were as a Freshman, 1 as a Sophomore, 0 as a Junior and 1 this past year. Most all of his production came as a Freshman. That being said, he will get his opportunity, and I’m sure we will all wish him well.

I wish all this had been illustrated in his junior/senior seasons, but I didn't see it at least. Back to Top CatsUp General User Member Since: 4/15/2019 Post Count: 730 Status: Offline     RE: Hagan    Posted: 1/23/2020 4:19:28 PM  Is it possible that playing his freshman year with a defense that included Poling, Moore, Brown, Sayles, Basham, etc. enabled him to focus more on stripping the ball, not covering for others, etc. Worth mentioning I think.

Bingo! He had less assignments and more opps to make plays as a freshman. As those guys left he became a band-aid to what's here now. More responsibilities and less freedom in the backfield the past few years to help over top. Off topic but still relevant, this is why I advocate adding 3-4 defense to our 4-3. There are years where we have more/better LBs than D-Lineman and then the next year better D-Lineman than LBs, Corners & Safeties vice versa. I think we could gain a competitive edge adding that wrinkle to our defense and help us in years where a position is low in numbers.

I wish all this had been illustrated in his junior/senior seasons, but I didn't see it at least. It’s possible, but it’s not like he had the “WORST “ JR/SR season.. GEESH. One thing I did notice he was more focused on going for the strip, than the tackle. He was “trying “ to make a play that we were demanding. Unfortunately just like we watch film, so do they. They tell their players to hold on to that ball, and “clearly “ they don’t throw in his direction. What’s the saying? “ They got film on him now”. As far as tackling techniques, hopefully someone at the next level can help him with that. Damn, our leading tackler is the safety. I wonder who is going to step up and save us from Kent State next year? Good luck young man, I look forward to watching you at the next level.. #7 Back to Top Maddog13 General User Member Since: 12/21/2004 Location: Albuquerque, NM Post Count: 597 Status: Offline     RE: Hagan    Posted: 1/28/2020 8:38:10 AM  My assessment of Hagan is that he was frequently around the ball; appears to have been a man amongst boys with an NFL like physical build; and has natural athletic talent. The question though is whether he has that drive, level of aggression, and single focus that NFL scouts seem to be looking for. That is fine by me if he doesn't, because I like well rounded people who have multiple interests. I would love to see how he does against higher level competition. While watching LSU and Clemson compete in the National Championship game, I was blown away by how aggressive, intense, and seemingly super human both the secondary and wide receivers in that game on both sides were. Good Lord, the speed seen in that game was almost blinding.
