veteran Rutgers OL with pro-caliber frame, clean feet, and real versatility
In the 2026 season, CJ Hanson profiles as a 6-foot-5, 310-pound junior lineman for Rutgers with a reputation for strong footwork, balance, and the flexibility to play inside or tackle, which is exactly the kind of chess piece coaches love on game day.[6][7] His best traits are movement skills, leverage, and a cerebral feel for twists and angles, while the knock is that he wins more with technique and positioning than raw power, so he fits best with a team that values zone concepts and developmental upside over immediate bulldozer strength.[4][5][9]
