Hand is a 6-4, 310, Freshman offensive lineman from Mission Viejo HS, Orange County, CA. He is an early enrollee for this year and has been on campus for spring ball and S&C. Hand is likely our future starting center. Here is the analysis from Brandon Combs, AZ Desert Swarm:
Two things really stick out about Hand. One: he is a legacy. His father Bryan played at Arizona from 1993-1995. Two: he is a mauler.
Hand gets fantastic pad level and a ton of aggression. He has great placement with his hands and keeps his feet moving.
He naturally has a great motor and plays smart. He is a strong player as well, using his lower body strength to keep a good base.
He has a similar style to freshman Josh Baker and I can see those two anchoring the interior of the offensive line for a long time.
