The Alabama Crimson Tide recently took aim at an athlete from the northeast. Ronan Hanafin is listed as an athlete in the 2023 class from Massachusetts.
With the number of wide receivers that the program has sent to the NFL over the tenure of Nick Saban, it should come as no shock to see their pipeline to reach nationwide.
Hanafin is likely projecting best to play on the offensive side of the ball as a wide receiver at the next level. He displays good ball skills and the ability to snatch it away from his body.
Hanafin is also a physical player out wide as a blocker. That ability will likely earn him more reps early on in his collegiate career. Hanafin isn’t just a pass-catching threat, he will get involved in the running game as a blocker. He blocks through the whistle, so there is no lack of effort on his part.
