USF senior defensive end Jatorian Hansford is from Forsyth, Ga., just down the road from the Whistle Stop Cafe, where the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes'' was filmed. But otherwise, the community of about 3,700 is probably familiar only if you needed a quick pit stop off Interstate 75 while traveling back to Florida from Atlanta.
"Gas stations, hotels and fast-food restaurants … that's us,'' Hansford said.
But Hansford experienced a much larger world during four seasons with the SEC's Missouri Tigers. He played at Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Florida, Arkansas and Tennessee — in cavernous stadiums that could have swallowed his hometown — while getting experience against some of the nation's best offensive linemen.
