Utah's Chase Hansen is a 'running back trying to play quarterback'
Jeffrey D. Allred/Deseret NewsSALT LAKE CITY — For a guy who was rumored to be transferring to BYU and switching to the defense before the conclusion of his LDS mission, redshirt freshman quarterback Chase Hansen is fitting in well at the University of Utah.
The 6-foot-3 dual-threat quarterback was a highly coveted in-state recruit coming out of Lone Peak High School, where he left passing for over 3,000 yards and 38 touchdowns his senior year while adding just over 1,400 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns. The All-American knew how to compile a highlight reel in high school and is starting to make a splash at Utah in the few weeks on campus.
