What to know: Hansen took an unofficial visit June 2 and committed to Georgia Tech on June 5.

WHAT HE SAID

Why he chose to commit to Tech: "When they offered me in the summer I'd already been talking to them (for a while.) I decided that if they ended up offering me, I was going to commit. Just the balance between the education, which is just incredible, but the fact that the football there is so well-developed, it's so great and I couldn't pass it up. There's nothing better."

On the biggest factor in choosing Tech: "I fell in love with the place when I got there and visited and I already knew a few people there, but the education, the value that I'm going to get after attending that school, it's unbeatable. It's a four-year decision. It's something I was very happy to decide upon."
