ATLANTA - After a superb senior season on the grid iron, Jonathan Hammond has brought in yet another award: the AJC Class-A Private Football All-State Defensive Player of the Year, released on Jan. 2.

"Thanks to the AJC for selecting me to the All-State Team and as Defensive Player of the Year for Class-A Private," Hammond said on social media. "Special thanks to my coaches for all the effort and time they have put into making me who I am today!"

Hammond led Mount Vernon's defense with a whopping 94.5 tackles for the 2019 season.

He also assisted in 18 tackles, racked up 19 take-downs for a loss and picked up 5.5 sacks as well.
