Daevin Hobbs earns fifth star from On3

Charles Power•

Defensive lineman Daevin Hobbs (No. 23) has seen a meteoric rise dating back to the summer. The Concord (N.C.) Jay M. Robinson product was a standout on the college camp circuit, impressing multiple SEC programs with his workouts, which featured multiple sub-4.8 second 40-yard dash times at around 6-foot-4 and 270 pounds. That top-notch athleticism has seamlessly transferred over to the field as a senior. Hobbs has been dominant as a two-way player early on. He runs away from defensive backs in the open field as a wide receiver and tight end. We’ve also seen some burgeoning skills as a pass rusher. Hobbs has registered a few big games on the defensive side, showing some rare traits with his ability to bend and burst in short areas at his size. While he’s still developing, we currently feel Hobbs’ upside is as high as any defensive lineman in the cycle.

Daevin Hobbs scored all 15 points for his Concord (N.C.) Jay M. Robinson team in his senior season debut against Charlotte Independence – a school with over 1,400 more students.The 6-foot-4, 270-pounder showed off rare movement skills and overall coordination for a prospect of his size. Hobbs got things going early on with an eye-popping 60-yard catch and run, extending for the ball over the middle of the field and out-racing the secondary for the score. Hobbs split out wide and come down with a jump ball on the two-point conversion. Later on he beat and beat 1-on-1 coverage down the sideline for a 65-yard gain. The second touchdown came on a direct snap that saw Hobbs beat defenders to to the corner. He also played significant snaps on defense making a handful of plays behind the line while also chasing down ball carriers downfield.

Daevin Hobbs a big riser in updated On300

Charles Power•

The North Carolina native jumped from No. 200 to 83 overall in the On300. He is one of the more athletic and high-end jumbo athletes in the 2023 cycle. Hobbs excels above the rim on the hardwood and took home team MVP honors on a state championship hoops squad. The 6-foot-4, 257 pounder makes uber-athletic plays at defensive end and tight end on Friday nights. He possesses an 80-inch wingspan and big hands. He’s also a quick initial mover with the agility to get small when needed and pursue from the backside. His ability to close in on the football stands out. Hobbs was a productive player in 2021 with 20 tackles for loss. His best football is way out in front of him.
