"Florida, Ole Miss, Florida State, Miami (Fla.), Michigan and Georgia Tech (are showing interest)," the 6-foot-2, 190-pound Hatcher said.
He added that the Yellow Jackets currently were standing out the most.
"It's going to be important for a place that I like," Hatcher said. "I want to play in a big city like Atlanta, Ga."
Hatcher said that he likely will visit Miami unofficially this spring.
"It's the closest," he said.
On Sunday, Hatcher attended the Rivals.com Junior Day at Northeast High in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Hatcher had 65 tackles, two interceptions, four fumble recoveries and blocked a field goal during the 2006 season. This followed a sophomore campaign in which he had seven interceptions. He was an All-Palm Beach County selection and a Class 5A All-State selection.
