On eight different occasions last season, Chapman’s Cade Hanney was named the team’s offensive, defensive or special teams player of the week.
Hanney is looking forward to being an even better player in 2024.
“I would like to overall be a better player by increasing my total rushing yards and tackles this season,” Hanney said. “Of course, I want to win more games this season too. I have been focusing on my footwork and agility drills along with hitting the weight room hard.”
Not only is Hanney a standout football player, but he’s also a quality baseball player, too. The combination of the two sports have kept him active throughout the summer.
“Summer weights are four days a week from 6 am to 8 am and includes weight lifting, conditioning and football installation,” Hanney said. “I am a member of our varsity baseball team and have been practicing and playing most days of the week since the beginning of March. We just ended our summer season. Baseball has definitely kept me active and engaged with some of the guys on the team.”
Since Chapman is such a small school, Hanney has played sports with some of his teammates for many years. So ending his career on a high note is important.
“I am looking forward to my senior year,” Hanney said. “I have played several years with a lot of the guys on the team, and I am hoping for a strong finish to end my football career.”
