The best coaches I’ve had were middle of the pack players - not super talented. I think there is something to be said about natural talent creating a disconnect between your average joe.

Great news!

That is good news. Brings experience, football IQ, leadership, and overall depth to that position. Welcome back Jake and not from State Farm. He isn't wearing khakis, he is wearing Orange and Blue.

wanted more frisbee time on the quad obviously
Jake Hanson returning is a BIG DEAL!
Joe Torre once explained his ability to relate to his players by saying, "I've hit .360 in a season, and I've also hit .240."

Plus a returning captain, who is likely to be named a captain again for the upcoming season.
