Clay Hamblen, an All-American Defensive Back for the Georgetown Tigers, signed with KMG Sports this past weekend.  Hamblen from Danville, IN tallied 52 total tackles in his last season as a Tiger, including 28 solo, and had a total of eight interceptions for 78 yards, when most teams tried to avoid his side of the field.  Hamblen added a fumble recovery for 90 yards, had eight defended passes, and 2.5 tackles for a loss of five yards in 2007.  Just as impressively, he added 870 all purpose yards on 24 kick returns and 19 punt returns, returning one kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown. 

He ends his collegiate career with a total of 191 tackles, 30 broken up passes, and 20 interceptions for 246 yards.  On special teams, he was special, with 2881 total all purpose yards during his four years at Georgetown, adding 6 career touchdowns.  In 2006 he was named the NAIA All-Purpose Player of the Year and was also an AFCA All-American.

Hamblen has left his mark in the Georgetown College record books, holding records in career interceptions (20), punt returns (119), kickoff return yards (1691) and punt return yards (1305).   "He has been a special player to watch and coach," said Head Coach Bill Cronin.  "We will certainly miss his speed and leadership on the field."
