What's up with Fred Hansard?

That was the question asked and answered by PennLive sister site NJ.com, who caught up with the Princeton, N.J., Hun School class of 2017 four-star defensive tackle earlier this week as he inches closer to a decision.

Nine programs, including the Lions, Alabama, Florida, Pittsburgh, Oklahoma, Michigan State, Rutgers, Tennessee, and USC remain for the 6-foot-3, 305-pound prospect, and while Penn State has recruited him for a long time, so have the others.

Hansard told NJ.com that his next recruiting trip will take him to see Florida next week.
