COLUMBUS, Ohio – Capital University football player Robbie Hatcher has added another weekly accolade after his outstanding performance this past Saturday on special teams play. Hatcher has been named as a special teams player on the D3football.com Team of the Week, which is a weekly honor roll honoring the top performance across the country at each position from the previous week. 

Hatcher's award comes after he was named the OAC Special Teams Player of the Week yesterday and it marks Capital's first D3football.com Team of the Week honor since Hagan Lineberger was recognized as a punter this same week of the 2025 season. 

Hatcher put forth a historic performance this past weekend, blocking three Heidelberg PAT kicks. The three blocked kicks were instrumental to the game as it kept the game a one-possession score and enabled the Comets to tie the game on a touchdown and two-point conversion in the final minute of regulation to force two overtime periods against the Student Princes who had been receiving votes nationally. Hatcher's three kick blocks broke a Capital football record set back in 1937 by Harry Campbell and also tied him with a Division II player for the most blocked kicks in a game across all NCAA divisions this season. 

The Comets are back in action this Saturday as they will host Ohio Northern for a 1:30 p.m. kickoff.
