After an impressive showing at the 2024 NFL Draft Combine, Sam Hartman has officially signed with the Washington Commanders as a free agent. The former Wake Forest quarterback brings a wealth of experience and talent to the team, making him a valuable addition to their roster.
Hartman's journey to the NFL has been nothing short of remarkable. From his days as a standout high school player to his successful college career, he has always shown determination and skill on the field. Now, he is ready to take on the challenge of playing at the professional level and proving himself among some of the best athletes in the world.
The Wake Forest grad transfer finished his six-year college football career with 134 touchdown passes, which is tied for third-most in FBS history with Graham Harrell, and 15,656 passing yards, which ranks fifth all-time.
In his only season in South Bend, Hartman threw for 2,689 yards, 24 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. According to our reporting partners at the South Bend Tribune, his lone season in a pro-style offense at Notre Dame yielded career-bests in completion percentage (63.5%), yards per attempt (8.9) and passer rating (159.5).
Hartman went 36-21 as a starter in college but went just 5-10 against ranked teams. He also struggled in the Senior Bowl, going 7-for-25 for 69 yards and one interception.
The big knock on Hartman heading to the next level is his size and his physical traits. He’s not the tallest quarterback, while his arm strength leaves a little something to be desired.
There are some definite tools to work with, but his upside might be limited as a result of the aforementioned concerns.
Due to Covid altering the 2020 NCAA Football season, Hartman having one more year of eligibility, determined to transfer to Notre Dame. For the Fighting Irish, Hartman completed 63.5 percent of his 301 passes for 2,689 yards, 24 touchdowns, eight interceptions and a 159.5 passer rating.
Born in Charlotte, NC, he will turn 25 in July. He played his High School ball at Oceanside Collegiate in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, and became a three-star college quarterback recruit.
Overall, Sam Hartman's signing with Washington is a significant moment for both him and the team. It will be interesting to see how he adjusts to playing at the professional level and how he can help elevate the Commanders' performance on game day.
