Veteran Nicholls OL who earned all-conference respect
Ryan Hanley emerged as a trusted anchor on Nicholls’ offensive line, earning second-team All-Southland recognition in 2017 and first-team All-Louisiana honors in 2018 while helping the Colonels allow just 18 sacks that season. His value is the classic lineman package: experience, consistency, and enough physicality to be a dependable interior/edge piece rather than a flashy headline grabber. If you want a polished, battle-tested blocker who has already won the respect of conference voters, Hanley fits the mold.
