High school career[]

Hartman was born on July 29, 1999, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Hartman attended Davidson Day School in Charlotte before transferring to Oceanside Collegiate Academy in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, where he was a team captain at quarterback. In his sophomore and junior seasons at Davidson Day, Hartman threw for 6,388 passing yards and 69 touchdowns, being named first-team all-state as a junior and was given the Charlotte Observer player of the week award four times. He also had a game with 563 passing yards, third-highest in county history.[1]

He transferred to Oceanside for his senior season, and led them to a 7–3 record while throwing for 3,093 yards passing and 29 touchdowns, in addition to nine rushing scores. Hartman was rated the No. 12 pro-style passer in the class of 2018 by 247Sports.com and was a three-star recruit.[2] He was featured in the documentary series QB1: Beyond the Lights for his final season in high school.[3]

College career[]

2018 season[]

He accepted a scholarship offer from Wake Forest University, and won the starting quarterback position in preseason camp.[1] He started the season opener against Tulane, and was one of five freshman quarterbacks to start the season in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision. He was 31-for-51 passing against Tulane, throwing for 378 yards and leading them to a win in overtime. He was the first true freshman to start the season-opener as a quarterback in school history. Through the first three games of the season, Hartman led all freshmen in the country for yards of offense and made two or more touchdown passes in each game.[1] He was named ACC Conference rookie of the week following a win on September 29 versus Rice, in which he tied the school record for consecutive completions with 12.[1] He led them to a 4–4 record before suffering an injury against Syracuse that kept him out for the rest of the season.[1]

2019 season[]

After an extensive competition throughout the spring and fall camp, Hartman was the backup quarterback as a sophomore in 2019 behind Jamie Newman, only appearing in four games, thus preserving a redshirt for the season. He saw his first action of the season against Louisville on October 12, when he took over in the fourth quarter trailing 38–55. Hartman led them to three-straight scoring drives, as they lost 59–62.[1] He was named starter prior to their next game versus Florida State, and led Wake Forest to a 22–20 victory.[1] He next saw playing time late in the year versus Syracuse, playing from the second to fourth quarters. He threw two passes in the season finale, a loss to Michigan State in the 2019 Pinstripe Bowl.[1]

2020 season[]

He regained a starting position as a redshirt-sophomore in 2020, being named team captain and playing in all nine games.[1] Against North Carolina, Hartman compiled 429 passing yards and four touchdown passes in the 53–59 loss. He finished the season ranked 28th nationally with 2,224 passing yards.[1] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Hartman did not lose any eligibility entering the 2021 season.

2021 season[]

In 2021, Hartman led his team to an 8–0 record, the best start in school history. He earned national honors following a game against Army, in which Hartman compiled a career-best 458 passing yards and five touchdowns.[4] He was named the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback of the Week, PFF National Offensive Player of the Week,[5] Maxwell Award Player of the Week, and CFPA national performer of the week.[1]

Hartman concluded the season by leading the Demon Deacons to an ACC Title appearance, where they lost to Pittsburgh by a score of 45-21. Following the loss, the Deacons accepted an invitation to play in the Gator Bowl, where they played and defeated the Rutgers Scarlet Knights 38-10. The win brought Wake Forest to 11 wins, one of the best finishes in school history.

For the 2021-22 season, Hartman set Wake Forest school records with 4228 passing yards (breaking the record previously held by John Wolford), 39 touchdown passes (breaking the record previously held by John Wolford), and moved into first in Wake Forest history with 72 total passing touchdowns (breaking the record previously held by Riley Skinner). Hartman also broke Wake Forest records for most touchdowns scored in a season (50), total yards in a single season (4591), and total yards offensively in a career (9992).

On December 16, 2021, with two years of eligibility remaining, Hartman announced he would return for another season at Wake Forest.
