He's a massive body at 6'6"/300 that moves his feet well and is highly advanced in his technique at this stage.

He finished a highly impressive four-year career at Arbor View as Nevada's all-time tackles leader with 443 total and another 40 TFLs. He's one of the most violent open-field tacklers in the country that can set the tone for a physical defense and can make plays in every area of the field with the athleticism and motor he brings to the table. Thatcher's a great fit for the physical style of play Utah has become known for over the years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">A chapter in life closes and a new one begins.
