IN HIS OWN WORDS…

"I just love everything about the school with coach Mac, coach Rumph, and everybody," Hansard said. "I feel like they are doing big things over there. When I was there I felt comfortable, my family felt comfortable, and my friends felt comfortable. It was a big decision.

"Being there for Friday Night Lights was huge," he said. "I was there from about 9 am until about 8 pm. It was a long day but I got to see the school, see what it would be like to be a University of Florida student, and explore the campus. The coaches gave my family and me a lot of love and we all felt very comfortable."

RIVALS REACTION…

The Gators have a big time need at defensive tackle and Hansard certainly fills that need. Hansard is an athletic interior defensive lineman with good speed at the snap and aggressive hands. He has a knack for making plays in the backfield and there is plenty of room for the strength coaches to fill out his frame.
