Fred Thatch Jr. was Saint Louis’ defensive tone-setter before an ACL injury ended his final run
Fred Thatch Jr. was a high-IQ, physical guard for Saint Louis who brought toughness, defensive edge, and senior-season reliability before a torn ACL ended his 2022-23 campaign after 13 games. In the 2022-23 season, he averaged 6.2 points and finished his Billikens career with 685 points in 109 games, while also earning academic recognition for his work off the floor. He fits a team that values defense, maturity, and winning habits more than flashy box-score numbers.
