In football, he was a two-time All-Conference selection, helped lead his team to the state championship as a senior, and finished his defensive career with 23 sacks and 200 tackles. After his senior season, he participated in the Ohio North-South Game.

Hartings (#64) attended Penn State University, where he was a two-time All-American in 1994 and 1995. There he earned a Bachelor of Science in marketing in 1995 and was twice named Academic All-American.
