Over the course of the three varsity football seasons he's played in, Hale posted a career record of 96 catches for 2,017 yards and 27 touchdowns. With the combination of his physical frame, the functional athleticism as a three-sport athlete, and his on-field abilities as wideout, Hale shows promising developmental potential.

He is projected to become a multi-year starter at Alabama who could ultimately progress into a top candidate in the NFL Draft.
