Hansen ranked second among Polar Bears with 67.0 tackles last season. Among them were 53 solo stops and 4.0 tackles for loss. When watching his junior highlight video, we witness a middle linebacker that’s tough to contain with his activity and quickness. Hansen is prepared and diagnoses plays well before and after the snap. He flows to the football and operates with good balance that aids him in breaking down the ball carrier before wrapping him up. Hansen is fast sideline to sideline and also shows a burst with straight-line speed. It’s a skill set that would work at safety on the next level, and Hansen certainly would be a special-teams’ asset.
