Draft Profile: Bio
Hatchett never could escape his love of the Huskies, staying home in Ferndale, Washington, to sign with the program his older brother Geirean also chose. One of the nation's top center prospects, he was a polished, technically sound snapper coming out of high school. He grew into Washington's starting center, valued for clean snaps and sharp line calls.An injury limited Hatchett to nine games in 2025, but he started at center when available, taking more than 300 pass-blocking snaps and 228 in the run game while allowing just one sack and six pressures. A heady, athletic interior anchor who rarely misfires in protection, he profiles as a dependable pivot man with the technique to start early once fully healthy. The clean snaps and sharp protection calls make him a coordinator-friendly pivot, and the family ties to Washington reinforced a hometown commitment built on technique.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Second-best protection tape on Washington's line before the injury.
- Six pressures allowed in nine starts, a tidy per-snap ledger.
- Two prior seasons of center snaps make him the room's institutional memory.
- Family-program stability: returning alongside his brother for a final Husky season.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Poor run-game grades, near the bottom of this center group.
- Wrist surgery ended his season after the Illinois game, four games early.
- Wisconsin's front produced a two-way struggle just before the injury.
- Short arms on a squatty frame limit the first-contact wins.
- Below-average drive power shows on every short-yardage tape.
Scouting Report: Summary
The protection ledger was quietly tidy: six pressures allowed in nine starts, the second-best pass-blocking tape on Washington's line, and a third season of center snaps that makes him the position room's institutional memory. Hatchett is a Ferndale local in a family program, returning for one more year alongside his brother on the very same interior, the kind of continuity story that coaching staffs lean on hard during roster rebuilds.The hard parts of the file are physical. The run blocking ranked poorly, near the bottom of this group, Wisconsin's front handed him a two-way struggle in his last full outing, and a wrist injury requiring surgery ended the season four games early, the second medical interruption of his career. Short arms on a squatty frame keep losing the first-contact battle that center play is built on.
A healthy senior season with the protection standard fully intact and any visible run-game progress would put him on the undrafted-priority lists with a swing-center label attached, which is the honest and complete scope of the present projection. Centers with his snap experience and locker-room profile reliably get camp invitations on reputation alone, and Washington's offense will give the league a full, healthy season of clean evaluation tape to make the decision with.
