Idaho's Hatten named to

Senior Bowl Watchlist

Consensus All-American receiver Hayden Hatten was named to the Reese's Senior Bowl Preseason Watchlist, announced Wednesday.

Hatten, the Big Sky Conference Preseason Offensive MVP, is coming off a record-setting season that saw him set the Idaho single-season touchdown record (16) and single-game touchdown record (4). He now has 24 career touchdowns, just three short of Jerry Hendren's Vandal record of 27.

Hatten is one of five Big Sky Conference players and 50 FCS players on the list.

The Reese's Senior Bowl, held on Feb. 3, in Mobile, Alabama, has become the premiere college football All-Star game. It is an essential part of the NFL draft process with scouts and coaches from every NFL team. The annual Preseason Watchlist is a who's who of draft eligible players.

The Vandals start their season next Thursday, Aug. 31, on the road at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas. Kickoff is scheduled for 5 p.m. and will be broadcast on ESPN+.
