Father Lopez (Daytona Beach) SR WR Michael Battis announced yesterday via Twitter that he was "Excited to continue my football career at Hobart!"
A native of St. Augustine, FL, Battis is another in a long line of Statesmen players from the Sunshine State. The current roster has eight student athletes from FL on it, which I believe is the fourth most on the squad (behind the sort of obvious states of NY, NJ and MA).
Previously a student at St. Joseph Academy (which is in his hometown of St. Augustine), Battis was able to get in three games in this fall's shortened 2020 season. The highlights - which includes 13 receptions for 290 yards and 3 TDs - can be viewed here.
At 6'0" and 170 lbs. Battis can be a deep threat or a possession style of WR, running sound routes and with breakaway (4.5) speed when he's in the open field.
Please join me in welcoming Michael and the extended Battis family to the Hobart Football one!
Thanks for reading and go 'Bart!
