Daine Hanson brings rare tackle size, championship experience, and a developmental upside swing
In the 2025 season, Daine Hanson appeared in eight games for UTPB and helped the Falcons reach the NCAA Division II quarterfinals, then moved to Northern Illinois as a 6-foot-8, 315-pound offensive tackle with a 3-star recruiting background and national championship pedigree from Iowa Western. He stands out for his length, mass, and proven winning experience, which can be a real separator for a program needing a plug-and-play developmental tackle. If you want a big-bodied lineman with upside and a mindset shaped by high-level team success, he’s worth a look.
