Syracuse football has more analyst predictions for 2021 WR Umari Hatcher

Syracuse football has an excellent chance to pick up 2021 three-star wide receiver Umari Hatcher, who will announce Sept. 4.

Syracuse football target Umari Hatcher plans to reveal his collegiate destination on Friday, Sept. 4, and the Orange appears in a strong position to win the recruiting bout for the 2021 three-star wide receiver.

The 6-foot-3, 175-pound Hatcher, a rising senior at Freedom High School in Woodbridge, Va., recently listed a half-dozen suitors on his Twitter page, and they are the ‘Cuse, Indiana, Michigan State, Maryland, East Carolina and Liberty, with the Flames representing the Syracuse football non-conference foe in the Orange’s 2020 schedule.

We reported not too long ago that Brian Dohn, a national analyst with 247Sports who has an exquisite success rate in his Crystal Ball projections for that recruiting service, had put in a prediction for the ‘Cuse as it relates to Hatcher.

Now, two additional experts have joined Dohn with an identical prognostication. On Sept. 1, 247Sports’ Clint Brewster and Evan Watkins also projected Hatcher to Syracuse football. All three are attaching high confidence levels to their forecasts.

I’m not seeing any analysts on Rivals.com currently making predictions on Hatcher, so at this juncture the Orange is 3-for-3. That’s a small sample size, and nothing is ever a guarantee until Hatcher unveils his selection, however, it does seem that Syracuse football is in good shape with the talented wide receiver.

Syracuse football is trending in a positive direction for 2021 three-star WR Umari Hatcher, who will make his choice known this Friday.

On the 247Sports Web site and Rivals.com, Hatcher is rated as a three-star 2021 prospect. Nationally across this recruiting cycle, the 247Sports Composite slots him at No. 994 overall, as well as the No. 145 wide receiver and the No. 27 high-school player in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Rivals.com has Hatcher as the No. 25 prospect in Virginia, while 247Sports places him as the No. 104 wide receiver and the No. 19 player in Virginia.

Should Hatcher opt to don a ‘Cuse uniform in about a year, he would give Syracuse football 19 commitments so far in its 2021 class, including fellow three-star wide receiver Kendall Long.
