He became a regular in the offensive line as a senior and helped lead the Tigers to wins over Florida State and Southern Mississippi. The Tigers finished the season with a 6-4 record in 1959.

Hathcock was named to the Williamson Little All-America team in 1959 and was selected as the Tigers Outstanding Lineman.

Following graduation, Hathcock entered the coaching profession and worked at West Side High School and Wooddale High before later becoming an assistant principle.

Paul Hathcock died in 1990.
