Scores long touchdown in Chapel Hill Hatcher posted four receptions (on eight targets) for 103 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 31-30 overtime win versus North Carolina.

He has at least 103 receiving yards in each of his past four games, and five games hitting triple-digit yardage totals this season. He has scored six receiving touchdowns in a four-game TD streak, too. He'll look to make it five straight games with a score when SMU visits next Saturday.

Goes off against Louisville Hatcher hauled in 13 of 15 targets for 224 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 34-26 defeat to Louisville.

Impact Hatcher might be one of the most unheralded players in America. He has eight or more receptions in four of six games, and he has rolled up at least 126 receiving yards in three in a row, while scoring at least one touchdown (five total) in the past three outings, too. He'll look to keep up the good work at NC State on Saturday night.

Continues to roll up big numbers Hatcher reeled in 8 of 14 targets for 126 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 28-25 loss against Virginia.

Impact Hatcher accounted for eight of the team's 18 receptions, or 44.4 percent of the team's catch total. He has back-to-back games with triple digits in yardage, and he had posted at least 126 receiving yards in three of his five games, while totaling six touchdowns across the five outings. That's especially impressive considering he has worked with four different quarterbacks in his five games. He'll look to stay hot against Louisville on Saturday.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Goes bonkers in OT road victory Hatcher caught 12 of 16 targets for 152 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 42-41 overtime victory versus Connecticut.

Impact Hatcher really jelled nicely with new starting QB Amari Odom, and that combination looked dangerous for three scoring hook-ups, including the 17-yard game-winning score in the extra session. It was Hatcher's third collegiate 100-yard game, and first against an FBS opponent. The 152 yards also marked a new career high, surpassing the 147 yards he posted against New Hampshire on Sept. 5.

Totals 86 scrimmage yards Hatcher tallied three receptions (on six targets) for 58 yards during Thursday's 27-13 defeat against Pittsburgh.

Impact Hatcher also was able to add a 28-yard gain on a rushing attempt, the second-longest play from scrimmage in the game. His 34-yard reception was actually the longest. He has been an explosive player for the struggling Orange, and they need to try and get the ball in his hands more than just four total times. The Orange have more than two full weeks to rectify the scuffling offense, as they do not play again until Oct. 3 at UConn.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Totals six receptions in home loss Hatcher logged six receptions for 77 yards during Saturday's 21-18 defeat against California.

Impact Hatcher was unable to get back into the end zone, something the senior did twice in the opener against FCS New Hampshire. However, the senior still had a respectable amount of receptions and a solid yardage total. He'll look to keep up the good work with a quick turnaround Thursday at Syracuse.

SEPTEMBER 5 • Associated Press

Shines in rout of New Hampshire Hatcher totaled eight catches for 147 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's 66-3 win over New Hampshire.

Impact Hatcher, who had announced his intentions to enter the transfer portal in the offseason, elected to stay, and QB Steve Angeli and the Syracuse coaching staff are glad he stayed. He had a huge impact in the passing game, and he'll look to build on that momentum heading into the ACC opener against Cal next Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Withdraws from portal Hatcher has withdrawn from the transfer portal Wednesday, Mike McAllister of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact Hatcher initially aimed to leave Syracuse and look for another program to continue his career, but that won't be the case anymore. Hatcher will aim to secure a regular role in the Orange's passing game in 2026. He had 17 catches for 273 yards and three scores in 2025.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Entering transfer portal Hatcher is entering the NCAA's transfer portal, Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports reports.

Impact During both 2023 and 2024, Hatcher logged at least 15 receptions, 250 receiving yards and three touchdowns for Syracuse. So despite sitting out 2025 due to a year-long injury, the consistency is expected to make him a top attraction this upcoming offseason.

DECEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Off injury report Hatcher is good to go for Saturday's game at SMU, per the ACC availability report.

Impact Hatcher, who has only appeared in one game this season, is off the injury report and is available for Saturday's contest. He caught three touchdowns in each of the last two seasons with Syracuse so he figures to be involved now that he's healthy.

OCTOBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Saturday Hatcher is out for Saturday's game against Duke.

Impact Hatcher has logged snaps in just one game so far this season and has yet to find his footing after being an impactful player a season ago. It's unclear what's holding him out and how long he could be sidelined.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Participating in camp Hatcher (undisclosed) is participating in camp and should be healthy for the start of the 2025 season, according to Ryan Schumpert of Rocky Top Insider.

Impact Hatcher missed the final three games of the 2024 campaign, including the bowl game, but he's recovered and ready to play this season. The wideout notched 16 catches on 34 targets for 273 yards and three touchdowns in 2024, and he should have a role on offense in 2025 as long as he stays healthy.

AUGUST 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Misses bowl game Hatcher (undisclosed) didn't play in Friday's 52-35 bowl game win over Washington State.

Impact Hatcher sustained an undisclosed injury in Week 13 and missed Syracuse's final two games of the season. The wideout finishes 2024 with 16 catches on 34 targets for 273 yards and three touchdowns.

DECEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Saturday Hatcher is in street clothes with crutches and a leg brace and is out Saturday against Miami, Chris Carlson of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

Impact Hatcher seems to have suffered a pretty serious injury after getting hurt last week against UConn. The redshirt junior finishes the regular season with 17 catches for 273 yards and three touchdowns. It doesn't seem likely he'll be able to return for Syracuse's bowl game.

NOVEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers injury Saturday Hatcher (undisclosed) suffered an injury during Syracuse's win over Connecticut on Saturday, per Brent Axe of The Syracuse Post-Standard.

Impact Hatcher was helped off the field following an unsuccessful onside kick attempt by Connecticut at the end of the game. This injury will potentially put his status for next week's matchup versus Miami in doubt.

NOVEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in blowout Hatcher had three receptions (on eight targets) for 59 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-14 win over Holy Cross.

Impact Hatcher continues to get hot as we reach the midway point of the season. The wideout has now scored in back-to-back weeks and has seen his targets increase in every game this season. Those numbers, coupled with the electric play of his quarterback Kyle McCord, makes Hatcher a solid option fantasy-wise moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Another productive day Hatcher compiled three receptions (on six targets) for 84 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 26-24 loss versus Stanford.

Impact Hatcher's workload continues to increase week-in and week-out for the Orange offense. He put together his biggest day of the season against Stanford, and his chemistry with quarterback Kyle McCord appears to be growing.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Five grabs in win Hatcher hauled in all five targets for 67 yards during Saturday's 31-28 win versus Georgia Tech.

Impact Hatcher had a very solid day after recording just one catch in the opener. Other top options have emerged as receiving threats for the Orange, such as Oronde Gadsden and Trebor Pena. Still, if his quarterback Kyle McCord can continue to play as well and efficiently as he has through two weeks, Hatcher will surely have value as a starting receiver in Syracuse's offense.
