Scouting report
Hemby is a former three-star recruit from Edgewood, Marylandwho initially committed to Maryland right out of high school. After redshirting as a freshman, he started three seasons before transferring to Indiana for his final year of eligibility. This extensive starting experience is reflected in his high football IQ.
As a runner, he is detail-oriented and shows patience for blocks to develop and strong technique, both as a pass protector and receiver. His best work comes on third downs, where he varies the pace of his routes and makes sharp cuts to create separation. In pass protection, his feet are quick enough to mirror rushers and get into position, although too often he struggles to anchor against power.
As a runner, Hemby is most effective in man and gap scheme concepts, where he can rely on anticipation and decisiveness. He could show more patience with the ball at times. He’s not a threat; efficiency, not explosiveness, defines his game. Still, his competitiveness and consistent effort at every stage should make him a favorite of the coaching staff.
