If Kyle Hamilton were eligible for the NFL Draft, he would likely be leaving Notre Dame after this season and have a chance to be the first safety selected. That’s how good Hamilton is.

Hamilton stands at 6’4″ 219 lbs and looks every bit of that when you see him flash on the football field. Hamilton is a former five star and the number one ranked safety in the country, according to 247 Sports. Hamilton was part of Notre Dame’s 2019 recruiting class. He posted a 40″ vertical prior to his senior season in high school, according to his 247 Sports recruiting profile.

Hamilton is a true thumper at the safety spot. He comes downhill, shows his burst and lays licks on runners in space consistently. He has yet to intercept a pass this year. However, he intercepted four balls in his freshman campaign.

He recorded four tackles and broke up two passes in his collegiate debut against the Cards in 2019. Hamilton and Owusu-Koramoah are current college football stars on the national stage.

Hamilton may be a first round pick when his Notre Dame career is over. He has NFL stardom written all over him.
