With the commitment from Hatcher, Oregon State now holds seven commitments in their 2024 recruiting cycle including kicker Martin Connington, WR Eddie Freauff, LB Dexter Foster, DB Exodus Ayers, OL Dylan Sikorski, and WR Malachi Durant.
As part of the Beavers' 2024 recruiting class, Hatcher will replace previous running back commitments Brandon Tullis and Makhi Frazier who have both since committed to Michigan State.
