-> Hansen, at 6-foot-5 and 245 pounds, is listed as a tight end, but UConn’s coaches envision him as a versatile offensive weapon– a runner, blocker, receiver, a fullback or in the “H-back” role. As the Huskies were getting ready to leave for South Carolina for the Myrtle Beach Bowl last December, coach Jim Mora and offensive coordinator Nick Charlton took a quick trip to Dover, Mass., to close the sale. <-
-> “We really needed to build that room back up,” Charlton said. “It’s one of the areas where we needed to get better. Everybody knows about Justin and everything he can do offensively. Lou is a great addition for us and he’s finding his way, what the roles are we want to try to envision for him. I do think he’s better off the ball, but we’re working him both in line and off the ball. We know he can flex out, that’s a lot of what he did in high school. We try to be multiple in our formation, so guys like that, the more jobs they can do, the odds are they’re going to be on the field <-
