The Ball State Cardinals pulled in a four-year starter through the transfer portal on Sunday afternoon, as Texas State quarterback Layne Hatcher announced his commitment to the Muncie-based program on Twitter.
It’s Ball State’s second such transfer with significant starting experience to commit over the last week, as Mike Neu’s staff pulled in former Kent State running back Marquez Cooper on Dec. 12.
Hatcher spent the 2022 season at Texas State, starting in all 12 games. He finished with 2,653 yards, 19 touchdowns and 10 interceptions on a 62.2 completion percentage. The Bobcats finished the season at 4-8, with head coach Jake Spavital let go at the end of the season.
