Hollywood, Calif. – Utah receiver Britain Covey wishes he could have “Chase Hansen” as a superpower. Hansen just hopes to remain a healthy version of himself as a senior linebacker, applying the physical traits that his teammate envies.
Imagining someone with Covey's hands and shiftiness, standing 6-foot-3 and weighing 230-plus pounds, is a fantasy. The real possibility of Hansen's playing a full season in 2018, pressuring quarterbacks and making tackles all over the field, is almost as exciting to the Utes.
Hansen wants a satisfying ending for himself and his teammates in a college career that began with his redshirt season of 2012, as a Utah quarterback who arrived in a recruiting class with Travis Wilson.
