He was also a three-year letterman in basketball. He earned second-team All-WesCo South honors his junior year in 2008–09 as Meadowdale won a share of the WesCo South title, won the 3A District 1 title and also finished sixth in the Class 3A state tournament.[11] [12] [13] He was team co-captain his senior year and garnered first-team All-WesCo South accolades after averaging 19 points and 10 rebounds.[14] In the 2010 Class 3A state boys basketball tournament, Hamlett averaged 24 points and 10 rebounds per game and earned first-team All-Tournament honors as Meadowdale High finished in fifth place.[15] The team also finished second in the 3A District 1 tournament and second in the WesCo South. He was named The Heralds 2010 All-Area Boys Basketball Player of the Year.[16]

He earned two letters in track as well. He graduated from Meadowdale High School in 2010.[17]

In the class of 2010, Hamlett was rated a two-star football recruit by Rivals.com, Scout.com and ESPN.com.[18] [19] [20] He was also rated the No. 99 tight end in the country by Scout.com,[19] [21] and the No. 50 tight end in the country by ESPN.com.[20] [22] He was also rated both a three-star recruit and the No. 83 tight end in the country on 247Sports.com's composite rating, which takes into account the ratings of all the other major recruiting services in the country.[23] [24] [25] In February 2009, Scout.com released its 2010 Northwest Fab 50 ranking, which rated the top 50 football players in the Northwest graduating in 2010. Hamlett was rated No. 33 and listed as a wide receiver.[26] [27] [28] [29]

He committed to Oregon State in February 2010.[18] [19] [6] He also received an offer from Washington State.[18] [30] When Hamlett committed to Oregon State in February, the team offered him a grayshirt, which he accepted.[31] [32] In March, it was reported that Hamlett was not grayshirting as originally planned and was instead walking-on in 2010 and going on scholarship after the season.[33] [34] However, in August 2010, it was reported he had been given a scholarship.[35]

Hamlett's brother, Casey, played football at Western Washington from 2007 to 2008 and at Washington State from 2009 to 2010.[36] [37] [38]

College career

Hamlett played as a tight end for the Oregon State Beavers of Oregon State University from 2011 to 2014. In 2010, he was redshirted and shared the offensive scout MVP award with Tyler Anderson.[39] He majored in business management at Oregon State.[39] [40]

He played in 11 games in 2011 and earned Pac-12 All-Academic Honorable Mention honors. He appeared in 13 games, starting 7, in 2012.[39] He caught 32 passes for 403 yards and 3 touchdowns.[41] He also earned Pac-12 All-Academic Honorable Mention honors for the second straight year.[39]

He recorded career totals of 104 receptions for 1,109 yards and 10 touchdowns.[50] He was the fifth Oregon State tight end to record at least 1,000 career receiving yards.[39] His 104 receptions were third most in school history for a tight end and his 1,109 receiving yards were fifth most in school history for a tight end.[1]

Professional career

In a January 2015 story with The Herald, it was reported that Hamlett was retiring from football due to knee problems. Hamlett said that "after the season I decided it was time to hang it up. I didn’t want to be in pain every day. I felt like it was time to move on and live a normal life." He also said, "I’m sure I’ll wish I was still out there playing."[43] In a story with The Florida Times-Union shortly after signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Hamlett said, "I just took some time off because I was banged up" and that "I love the game of football, and I wanted to play. The whole [story] kind of got blown out of proportion." He had previously returned to training and began feeling 100 percent in early March.[51] Due to his break, he did not participate in the 2015 NFL Combine or Oregon State's Pro Day.[40]

Hamlett was rated the 31st best tight end in the 2015 NFL draft by NFLDraftScout.com.[52] Lance Zierlein of NFL.com projected that he would go undrafted and be a priority free agent. Zierlein stated that Hamlett was "Stiff, with limited athleticism" and that he "must improve his play strength at the point of attack and make his way as a blocking tight end to have a shot".[53]
