A Sea Of Red

Mitch Hanson's "little" brother is the starting LT for Lord Botetourt HS in Roanoke as a freshman. He is 6'3" 260, as a freshman, and from is video he is a beast. He began starting partway through this year over a senior. I hear LU is interested and vice versa, and he's been at Wagner's camps. Other schools are interested already too, but I'm not sure I can detail that at this point or not.

He will be playing at William's Stadium in the state finals since LBHS won today. Big deal for him to play where his brother played.

Anyway, check out his freshman highlight reel. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/6081536/hig ... 7082386/v2

I know his dream is to play for Swinney at Clemson but if that doesn't work out I think we would have a great shot of landing him. He's got a mean streak that set's him apart. He's going to be a good one.

He's definitely a big kid for his age. I suspect he might get some early offers next year or the year thereafter if he stays healthy.

DALEVILLE — Lord Botetourt’s football program is in the middle of a growth spurt.

The same might be true for the Cavaliers’ sophomore offensive lineman Jesse Hanson.

Hanson already stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 280 pounds, but signs indicate he is not finished growing.

“When he finally fills out as a high school player, I fully expect him to be 6-6, 310 or 320,” Botetourt head coach Jamie Harless said. “His arms are a mile long. His reach and wingspan are phenomenal.”

The 15-year-old doesn’t drive, doesn’t shave and has size-16 feet.

This kid is going to be recruited by nearly everyone. He's been on campus visits to practically FBS program in the region.

This kid sure looks great in red, white and navy blue! He is definitely a catch for sure!!

If we can keep him away from Dabo and the Tigers we may have a shot at him. He's up to 290 at last report.

That article came from yesterday's Clemson Spring Game. Here's the relevant part beyond the fact that he's a big fan of the CU coaching staff:

Clemson Insider wrote:Hanson plans to camp at Clemson again this summer and possibly attend a practice during fall camp. He visited East Carolina recently, is visiting Coastal Carolina tomorrow and Liberty on April 15.

I think we can all completely understand his interest in the National Champions. I can even see East Carolina. But at some point Mitch has to step in and draw the line with the Beach Chickens. We're counting on you, Mitch!

My guess is that Jesse is enjoying the ride visiting all the programs that will have him. I think he's probably got a pretty short list of possible landing spots that he's considering. I agree though, I would draw the line this side of Conway.

Maybe he's interested to hear what their cheerleaders have to say?

I'm thinking he's enjoying the visits as well. He grew up around the Liberty program and unless Clemson comes offering I think he's ours to lose.

Even if they offer, playing time might be limited to a single year down there. If he's just playing them and they do offer, it wouldn't hurt my feelings for the world to see a recruiting pick LU over Clemson

His parents both graduated from Clemson. They were going to games at Death Valley before they ever came to Liberty games. If he did pick us over them, it would be a real coup.

And there go my hopes and dreams.

Coastal has offered him on his visit there.

Sounds to me like Clemson would have the inside track if they offer, but if it's between a walkon position there and a fullride at his brother's alma mater with $6000/yr FCOA, I like our chances.

We have a connection to this kid and have talked above about him being a Clemson prospect, he visited here first yet we let Coastal offer him 1st?! Come on Coach!

Do you think they played this in the background during his visit?

He has received a full offer from UVa.

Iowa state has offered.

As was mentioned in the recruits thread, Liberty offered over the weekend during the lineman camp. He has also been rated at 3 stars by rivals as a rising junior.

Two weeks ago he was in South Bend. Last Week in Clemson. We only need to worry about one of those.

Agreed. Take a look at the expressions on his face from the two visits if you need further evidence.

Class of 2019 offensive guard Jesse Hanson has been a frequent visitor to Clemson over the years, and on Saturday, the Daleville (Va.) Lord Botetourt prospect will return to Tiger Town for Clemson’s top-15 matchup with Auburn in Death Valley.

“I’m extremely excited,” Hanson told The Clemson Insider. “It’s a night game and a huge opponent. It should be packed, and I’ve been talking to the coaches a lot more since September 1st so I feel like my recruitment is starting to pick up. It’s going to be an awesome time.”

And look who Clemson is using as the point man on their recruiting efforts with Jesse ... Brandon Streeter. Ugh. He is planning on visiting UVa & Virginia Tech as well as Boston College as the season progresses.

Incidentally he's had 3 stars dropped on him by most of the recruiting services. That could go even higher based on his highlight reel this fall. Here's his latest offer list:

• Coastal Carolina
  Iowa State
  Liberty
  Virginia

You can add a couple Mountaineers to the list of offers, both WVU and App St.
