Jordan Hansel was a steady, high-end MAC road-grader for Ball State
In the 2013 season, Jordan Hansel was a first-team All-MAC offensive guard who started 12 of 13 games and helped Ball State rank 17th nationally in fewest sacks allowed, so his value was never just about size—it was about reliable, high-level pass protection and veteran stability on the line[1][9]. At 6-foot-4 and 326 pounds, he brought NFL-ish mass, plus the kind of consistency coaches love: he started 39 career games and earned All-MAC honors in each of his final three seasons[1][9]. If you want a guard who protects the quarterback, raises the floor, and doesn’t need the spotlight, Hansel is your guy[1][9].
