A native of Scottsdale, Arizona, Hobbi attended Saguaro High School, where he was a three-time All-Region and two-time All-State lineman. In his senior year, he helped Saguaro win the Arizona state 4A-1 title and earned All-American honors by Parade, Super Prep, and Prep Star. Regarded as a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Hobbi was ranked as the No. 4 offensive guard prospect in his class.[2] ESPN.com gave him an 82-point grade and ranked him the No. 1 OG prospect.[3] He chose to attend USC over Arizona State and UCLA.[4]
After redshirting his initial year at USC, Hobbi was a backup center and offensive guard as a redshirt freshman in 2012. He appeared in seven games (Hawaii, Syracuse, Stanford, California, Utah, Colorado, Arizona) and even started at Stanford replacing an injured Khaled Holmes.[5]
In 2020 he started to pursue acting and starred as Klein in the horror movie 'Blade the Iron Cross', which is part of the Puppet Master franchise.
