Head coach Tim Corbin on Hansen: “Brett works very hard at his craft. He has emerged as one of the most fit players on our team. He is “all-in” on everything that he does, which explains his consistency. After serving a two-year mission before his freshman year, Brett is beginning to put continuous growth opportunities together. There certainly has been improvement over these last couple of months. Very positive young man and an exceptional student.”
