Justice Hansen has practiced throwing this offseason more certain that this year he would hold onto his spot as the starting quarterback at Arkansas State through the summer.
"I kind of feel like a lot of people are looking at me to be the guy," said Hansen, a redshirt junior and former Oklahoma transfer who finished the 2016 season passing for 2,719 yards, 19 touchdowns and 8 interceptions.
Hansen had the No. 1 spot coming out of spring practice last year until Pittsburgh graduate transfer Chad Voytik chose Arkansas State University in May 2016. Three Voytik starts and three losses into the 2016 season, Hansen regained the starting job and helped the Red Wolves earn a share of their second consecutive Sun Belt Conference championship.
