Film

Hellmann is an impressive prospect out of Upper St. Clair and his tape speaks for itself. Plays with a high motor and physical. Can play sideline to sideline with his speed and is a hard tackler. Hellmann has great instincts and manages the field well, oftentimes shutting down plays. While he’s a defensive recruit, he also lines up on offense in multiple roles at fullback and tight end. Plays with grit on offense, whether thats blocking or catching passes and absorbing contact.
