Hawthorn has selected Jack O’Sullivan with Pick 46 in the 2022 national draft.

A tough inside midfielder who can also make an impact up forward, O'Sullivan joins the Hawks with a solid foundation, having represented Vic Country in two under-17s matches last year.

However, after just four games at the beginning of the NAB League season and an impressive 25-disposal trial match for Country, he had his season hit hard by a shoulder injury.

The youngster however earned a National Combine invite via his promising performances despite facing a few stints on the sidelines in 2022.

O’Sullivan came back with a bang, testing fully fit at the Draft Combine, with his running vertical jump of 89cm - fourth overall - showing his power.

He also recorded sound results for speed (3.02 seconds on the 20m sprint) and endurance (6.32 on the 2km time trial).
