Hatcher remains open minded as he gets ready to resume his college visits.
"Right now I haven't narrowed it down," Hatcher said. "I like the Big Ten and MAC. And I like Boston College, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Cincinnati and Stanford.
"I've been to Michigan a few times. I went to Michigan State a few weeks ago. I'm going to Illinois, Indiana, and Vanderbilt for spring break."
Hatcher also plans to attend a number of combines and camps.
"I'm going to the NIKE combine at Ohio State," he said. "I'm going to the Adidas combine at Notre Dame. And I'm going to senior camps at Ohio State, Michigan and Louisville."
Hatcher has two Big Ten scholarship offers as well as two others.
"Illinois, Indiana, Cincinnati and Miami of Ohio have offered," he said. "I'm interested in those schools, and I'm really interested in Ohio State as well."
