veteran Sam Houston tackle with all-conference polish and academic muscle
Lance Hancock stood out for Sam Houston as a durable, high-end offensive lineman, earning first-team All-Southland honors in 2006 and starting 31 games over his first three seasons while protecting a passing attack that ranked third in the Southland in 2005. He also carried a 3.18 GPA and repeated as an Academic All-Southland selection, which says plenty about his discipline and consistency. For a team, that combo matters: reliable pass protection, proven experience, and the kind of steady, no-drama presence coaches love on the left side.
