Hyatt stepped up in a big way for the Volunteers in 2022. After Cedric Tillman missed 6 games due to injury, Hyatt quickly became the No. 1 receiver for the team. Hyatt’s 1,267 yards is just 31 yards short of the single-season record for the Volunteers set by Robert Meachem in 2006.
Hyatt set the Volunteers’ record for receiving TDs in a season, passing the previous record of 13 set by Marcus Nash in 1997.
Hyatt is predicted to be a 1st-round pick if he decides to leave Knoxville.
