WSU Cougars LB Dylan Hanser proving that small school athletes can thrive in the Pac-12 too

Cougars LB Dylan Hanser played his high school football at a small catholic school in Montana where he got little foot traffic from college coaches on the recruiting trail

Three years into his Washington State career, linebacker Dylan Hanser’s big moment finally came. With the game on the line and UCLA gearing up to embark on a potential game-winning drive, Hanser tracked down Bruins receiver Jordan Lasley, stripping the ball as he made the tackle.

The forced fumble was Hanser’s second of the night, and one of two big defensive plays the Cougars made late against UCLA that helped close out a win.
