Keon Hatcher Sr. is staying on the West Coast. The BC Lions announced today that the American wide receiver has agreed to terms on a two-year extension. Hatcher Sr. was eligible to become a free agent in February.<\/p>\n
Said general manager Ryan Rigmaiden: \u201cHatch epitomizes what it is to be a BC Lion.\u00a0 He\u2019s a dynamic playmaker that\u2019s smart, tough and puts the team before himself.\u00a0 As great as he\u2019s become on the field, I\u2019m just as proud of the leadership role he\u2019s taken and the effect he has in our locker room.\u00a0 I\u2019m looking forward to what he and Nathan Rourke do in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
The man known as \u2018Hatch\u2019 enjoyed his finest season to date in 2025, racking up a CFL-best 1,688 yards on a career-high 102 receptions with nine touchdowns.<\/p>\n
An All-CFL and West Division All-CFL selection, Hatcher added eight catches for 126 yards and a touchdown across two Grey Cup Playoff appearances.<\/p>\n
With 4,779 receiving yards over his five-year career, the playmaker sits in 14th place on the club\u2019s all-time list. With another 1,000-yard season, he would move all the way into the top ten.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Keon Hatcher Sr. is staying on the West Coast.
