Former Lone Peak star faces tough choice at Utah

SALT LAKE CITY — To be a quarterback or not to be a quarterback, that is the question Chase Hansen faces.

A star quarterback at Lone Peak High, Hansen signed with Utah intent on playing the same position in college. After spending the 2012 as a redshirt, he left to serve an LDS Church mission and came back into the program last winter the same designs to be a quarterback for the Utes.

Hansen quickly worked his way up the depth to become the third-string quarterback, behind seniors Travis Wilson and Kendal Thompson. After three weeks of spring practice, he beat out sophomores Brandon Cox and Conner Manning.
