St. John's Hanley is Heading to Hobart

Massachusetts Division 1 State Champion OLB James Hanley has announced on his Twitter feed that he has committed to attend and play football at Hobart College. Hanley was a big part of St. John's Prep (MA) 2018 championship run and having one of their best defensive seasons in history (which is saying a lot because SJP is one of the best programs in NE and has been since even back when I was in HS).

Looking at Hanley's highlight reel what comes across to me James is a hitter. At 6' 200 lbs. I could see Hanley in a SS role as a college player and his motor and aggressiveness could get him into the lineup quickly, depending on how preseason camp goes. Either way, Coach Backhaus '00 is going to love having a complete player like Hanley on defense as he is effective in pass coverage, stout against the run and is an effective blitzer.

Please join me in welcoming James and the Hanley extended family to the Hobart Statesmen one!

Thanks for reading and go 'Bart!
