Hartman had to undergo a procedure after seeking medical attention during one of Wake Forest’s summer workouts.
In 2021, the junior QB led the Deacons to a division title and bowl win all while throwing for over 4,000 yards and accounting for 50 touchdowns.
Head coach Dave Clawson described Hartman as “the true embodiment of a leader” and “one of the finest young men [he’s] ever had the pleasure to coach.”
Look for the upperclassman to bounce back in a big way once he touches the field again.
