Here’s why the Nuggets are the best game in town
Hogan Hansen never questioned that he had made the right choice, despite the circulating rumors. Jim Harbaugh, who was rumored to be the next head football coach, was planning to leave the University of Michigan and rejoin the NFL. Then he wasn’t. Was he, or was he not? The former Bellevue tight end, Hansen, who had already moved to Ann Arbor and enrolled at Michigan when the Wolverines faced Washington for the National Championship, claimed, “When we were in Houston, the NFL rumors had already started.” It might have been a significant occasion. Players frequently quit a program when college coaches depart. However, Hansen, a player for the Northwest Nuggets this season, remained steadfast. The Bellevue assistant coach who coached and shaped him, Lorenzo McKinney, said, “He graduated already and he early enrolled at Michigan.”can’t resist feeling shivers when discussing this young man.” Hansen assisted in returning the Bellevue Wolverines to the top of the 3A state rankings. With Hansen in the lineup, Bellevue won two state crowns; as the highly-touted tight end he has become, he also received a state player of the year award for his defense. “He had the passion from the beginning,” McKinney remarked. “He desired greatness.” “I had the opportunity to go catch more balls at one of the nearby private schools and leave Bellevue,” Hansen remarked. But the pudding speaks for itself. In two out of my three years, we won state. Hansen is a 2024 Northwest Nugget and a member of The Tacoma News Tribune.
