Braden Hanson brings rare lefty size and arm talent to North Dakota’s QB room
Hanson is a **6-foot-6, left-handed quarterback** whose profile is built on pocket-passing traits: size, field vision, and the ability to stress defenses vertically, with his prep résumé and national recruiting recognition pointing to a high-ceiling passer. He’s the kind of QB who can fit a system that values timing, accuracy, and downfield leverage more than scrambling; the biggest question for a team is how quickly he translates that talent against top-level FCS competition, but if you want a developmental passer with a distinctive delivery and pro-style frame, he’s an interesting fit.
