Jake Scott Hanson (born April 29, 1997) is an American football center for the New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Oregon.[1]

College career

A 4-star recruit, Hanson committed to Oregon over offers from California, Oregon State, Utah, and Washington State, among others.[2] Hanson started 49 games over his career, missing one start in 2018 due to a targeting penalty the week prior and two games in 2019 due to a concussion. He did not allow a sack through his first three seasons. Hanson was a two-time second-team all-Pac-12 Conference selection.[3] During his senior season, he allowed two sacks and four quarterback hits, and was an anchor of Oregon's Joe Moore Award finalist offensive line.[4]
