- Second behind Oregon’s Bo Nix (57) in active career quarterback starts with 56.
- The 2022 Brian Piccolo Award Winner, which is given annually to the “most courageous” football player in the ACC. Hartman earned the award by making his way back to the field after being diagnosed with Paget-Schroetter syndrome (effort thrombosis). Hartman missed much of the month of August in 2022 and the ‘22 Wake Forest season-opener.
- Announced his decision to graduate transfer to Notre Dame for his final season of eligibility on January 5, 2023.
- Joined Jack Coan (2021 vs. Florida State) and Ron Powlus (1994 vs. Northwestern) as the only two Irish quarterback to throw four touchdowns in their debuts with the program.
HARTMAN: LEADERSHIP, PERSEVERANCE AND HEART
- Through the series of obstacles and challenges presented in Hartman’s life, he has remained a steady, consistent leader. A four-time team captain, Hartman earned his Notre Dame captaincy after just a few months with the team, even more notable as the captains were chosen by a player vote. He made it a priority to earn the trust of his teammates on both sides of the ball, and has made those around him better by his leadership and his example, evidenced by his earning his fourth season as a team captain (three with Wake Forest).
- In 2022, Hartman was diagnosed with Paget-Schroetter syndrome (effort thrombosis). He underwent two procedures in August 2022 as a result of the diagnosis, one of the outcomes being the removal of his highest rib. He missed much of the month of August, and only missed one game, the 2022 Wake Forest season opener. From there, Hartman was back in action, racking up 3,701 passing yards and 38 touchdowns that season.
- Hartman prioritized getting to know his new teammates as soon as he arrived to campus in January. It started with learning everyone’s names and hometowns, having personal conversations with each. When Hartman first arrived, he had a great chance to be named the starter, but it was not guaranteed. Nonetheless, Hartman immediately jumped in, forming relationships with his new teammates because it was important to him. His performance and leadership led to his selection as the starting quarterback.
- Hartman’s family is of great importance to him, including his brother, Demetri Allison. Demetri began living with the Hartman family when Sam was in middle school, and became an older brother to him, truly a member of the Hartman family. When Demetri was in college and Sam was in high school, Demetri took his own life. A devastating loss to the family, Sam changed his number to 10, Demetri’s number, which he still wears today. Sam felt compelled to play in his state championship game the following week, as he felt Demetri would have wanted him to play, and led his team to a state title with a new confidence knowing that Demetri was with him.
- Hartman’s ability to face hardship and move forward with confidence and purpose stands as a model for others. Adding his success on the field only amplifies his influence.
- Hartman has participated in a variety of service opportunities throughout his football career. Hartman regularly works with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Michiana, local to the South Bend area. He also has worked with Drop Everything and Read (D.E.A.R), Freedom School, Juneteenth Annual Kickball Tournament, Wake Forest Victory Day, and the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Winston Salem, among others.
- Hartman has become a personal advocate for taking care of mental health, speaking openly about his own challenges and how he has learned to address stress and anxiety through healthy avenues and speaking with a therapist. He sees great value in pairing a healthy mind with a healthy body to perform at his best, and do so in a positive, productive way.
- Hartman is also consistently committed to learning. One of the most experienced players in all of college football, he seeks out how he can improve, whether through learning new schemes or techniques, or seeking to understand how a new program works, and how culture is built. His commitment is a strong example to his peers.
