‘Cats name Hatcher starting quarterback, progress throughout annual mock week

The Bobcats are inching closer and closer to kickoff against Nevada.

Not only did head coach Jake Spavital name redshirt junior and Arkansas State transfer Layne Hatcher Texas State’s starting quarterback, but the maroon and gold are also heading into their “mock week.” The week traditionally happens on the first week of school — barring a week zero game — to get players acclimated to their class schedules and how the team will operate throughout the season.

During a week focused on organization, the ‘Cats had to move their Tuesday practice to the San Marcos High School indoor facility due to lightning — giving players even more to juggle on a week where they have to learn how to balance it all.
