Osceola recruiting analyst Charles Fishbein has Hardison rated as the fourth-best slot receiver in the class among Florida prospects.
Fish's take
Hardison is the next star recruit out of the Space Coast area. He has the type of speed that changes a game. He can just blow by defenders. Put him in the slot and he will get the job done. Put him out wide and Hardison will run by you. He has the type of speed and quickness that is intimidating.
For those who want to see for themselves, here is Hardison's Hudl highlights for his sophomore season to date.
