After high school football honors, Hartman heads to Saint Vincent

Brady Hartman began his freshman year deciding to try out football for the first time.

“I had good size and always wanted to play, and I fell in love with the game. Ever since then there has been no looking back,” Hartman, a senior offensive lineman, said.

As he got older, he perfected his craft more every day, hoping to someday play in college. Around halfway through his junior season, college coaches started reaching out and offering him a chance to play in their programs.

Hartman received offers from Waynesburg University, Saint Vincent College, California University of Pennsylvania, Wittenberg University, and other schools.

Of those schools, Saint Vincent stood out the most to him.

“The recruiting process is stressful but it was pretty easy for me. The coaches and staff at St. Vincent have made me feel like family and treated me very well throughout the process,” Hartman said.

Hartman is a second team all-conference defensive lineman, but he will be staying on offense in college. He was also nominated for the Bill Fralic Award, which is awarded to the best interior lineman in the WPIAL conference.

“It is an honor and I am thankful for all of my family, teammates, coaches, and memories regarding Baldwin football. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for me,” Hartman said.
