Thatcher rumbled for a team-high 468 yards and seven touchdowns as a Fort Madison sophomore in 2025. He added 13 receptions for 59 yards and chipped in a two-point conversion. Thatcher also helped out on special teams, including as a kick returner. On his Hudl page, he reports running the 40-yard dash in 4.6 seconds, and 33.6 inches in the vertical jump. He lists 270 pounds on the bench press, cleaning 230, dead lifting 455 and squatting 550. There are a limited number of on-line video clips showing how Thatcher finds success between the white lines. Some of them can be found on his Hudl page by sifting through Bloodhound game highlights from last year. On them, we can see a well-rounded running back capable of busting it up the gut or doing damage by getting to the outside. Thatcher looks comfortable and natural as a receiver. His skill set works well on special teams, too.
