The Husky center is pushing to get medically cleared for the season opener.
As his University of Washington teammates move from drill to drill, Landen Hatchett stands alone at the end of the East practice field. He fastens a belt around his waist, which is connected to a retractable cord.
While he is attempting to get ready for the Aug. 31 season opener against Weber State, the sophomore from Ferndale, Washington, can't make any guarantees about his return. He knows better than to make any firm promises when dealing with shredded ligaments.
For Hatchett, he's reached the stage where he's still trying to deal with discomfort while building confidence the knee will hold up under the ultimate stress test. Hatchett has potential star quality after earning a 4-star rating as a recruit and picking the Huskies over Michigan, Oregon, Texas A&M and USC, then appearing in nine games as a true freshman in 2023.
