— Doesn't always sort pluggers, creepers and late loopers on time.
— Operated in a run-heavy scheme with minimal one-on-one pass-protection reps.

OVERALL
C.J. Hanson is a three-year starter with 38 career starts at right guard inside Holy Cross's run-heavy (65-35 run-pass split), multiple run scheme with 11 starts in 2023 as a team captain. Hanson has a lean, angular build with adequate arm length, good athletic ability and below-average power.
Hanson is a quick-twitch mover who can reach his landmarks on zone-base, cut-off and combo blocks as well as on targets as a puller with the body control to sustain once latched. He flashes the hand strength and core strength to "turn the wheel" to get defenders sealed out of the lane, but he lacks the raw power and size to create immediate displacement when needed. Hanson also has a default high pad level that creates some lag time against movement across his face, leaving him stuck behind his target.
In pass protection, Hanson is an efficient mover who does a nice job keeping his hips square in his sets. He engages with a strong initial base while providing a physical presence when uncovered to deliver jolt on adjacent rushers and take them off their feet. Hanson's lack of mass and lower-body strength makes it a chore for him to halt movement with his anchor against power down the middle.
Overall, Hanson is an efficient mover with good linear burst and physicality to get on target quickly, but his lack of size and power will make it difficult for him to hold the point and displace NFL defenders. He's young enough to develop physically and stick as a swing backup on the interior, though.

Georgetown football player Dijon Williams was arrested in Georgia and charged with murder Monday.
Williams was wanted in Washington, D.C., on the murder of Nurudeen Thomas, who was shot and killed July 21.
"Georgetown University became aware of charges against Dijon Williams this evening," the university said in a statement. "While we are working to learn more information, we will cooperate fully with any investigation and we stand prepared to offer resources to members of our community who may be affected by this news. At this time, there are no indications that the alleged crime took place near the University."
Williams, a senior wide receiver, has appeared in 15 games during his career at Georgetown. University policy dictates Williams is suspended from all team activities, and he will be subject to an investigation from student affairs as well.
Georgetown postponed all fall sports amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
After having their game against Furman this weekend canceled due to Hurricane Florence, the Colgate Raiders are doing their part to make the best out of the situation.
Per the team's official website, Colgate has released the hotel rooms it had booked so evacuees can put them to use. Not only that, but the team will donate its scheduled team meals to the hotel's guests.
"At the end of the day, you have to look at the big picture and that's the safety of everyone involved," Colgate head coach Dan Hunt said. "And by that I mean the teams and families but also the allotment of resources used for the game that could be better used somewhere else.
"We immediately gave up our hotel rooms so that more rooms are now available to those coming inland.
"But we still bought the meals we were going to have and requested that the hotel serve those meals to the people who have been relocated, on us. We were going to have Chick-fil-A delivered to the airplane after the game but have sent instructions that those meals be distributed wherever it could do the most good."
Hurricane Florence made its way into North Carolina on Thursday, leaving more than 100,000 people without power, according to the Weather Channel. Flooding ensued after the powerful storm brought heavy rainfall.
The game was one of several to be canceled because of the storm, including UCF-North Carolina, West Virginia-N.C. State and Marshall-South Carolina.
In preparation for the hurricane, there were evacuation orders issued in some parts, with others choosing to leave on their own as well. As a result, many people were looking for shelter and food as they were displaced from their homes.
Knowing that Hunt decided to step up to help.
Furman announced the game would not be made up. While the Raiders and the Paladins are disappointed to not be able to play football this weekend, they realize football is not a priority at this point.
"It's obviously a disappointment that we are not playing but at the end of the day, there are decisions bigger than football that need to be made for the safety of a lot of people," Hunt said. "This is 100 percent the right decision."
Colgate (2-0) will be back in action on Sept. 22 against Lafayette.
Former Georgetown football player Ty Williams, who suffered a serious spinal injury during a game in 2015, walked across the stage at the school's graduation ceremony on Saturday.
Georgetown tweeted out video of the moment:
Williams, who played linebacker, was injured during a Georgetown game against St. Francis (Pennsylvania) in September 2015.
Per Aidan Curran of The Hoya, Williams broke five bones in his neck and vertebrae while trying to make a tackle.
"It was something I've seen him do a thousand times," Georgetown head coach Rob Sgarlata said.
Williams was named to the Patriot League honor roll in 2016. He also appeared in 22 games for the Hoyas from 2013-14.
| Height | Weight | 40 Time | Arm Length | Hand Size |
| 6'7" | 318 lbs | 5.45s | 36 ½" | 10 ½" |
A two-time team captain and four-year starter at left tackle, Julie'n Davenport has two things you can't coach—size and length. At 6'7" and 318 pounds, he has 36 ½-inch arms and massive 10 ½-inch hands. He's the first guy you want coming off the bus. Davenport has an excellent reach, and his best asset is his punch. He has a quick strike and can get to defenders much earlier than his peers.
At the Senior Bowl, we saw him knocking back pass-rushers with nice timing and power on the limbs he calls arms. Davenport is a great fit in a zone-blocking scheme, where his length and his movement skills would allow him to cut off defenders in the running game. From a size and strength perspective, Davenport is prototypical.
A small-school prospect, Davenport isn't ready to make the jump from the Patriot League to the NFL without some bumps along the way. He'll have to speed up his process to keep up with pro pass-rushers. For a big, long guy, Davenport has slow, heavy feet in space. He didn't test or show like a top-tier athlete in predraft events. He has yet to develop blocking instincts, and he'll need time to work out the kinks in his game and build up his timing and his angles.
When playing football under Friday night lights, one montages like Friday Night Lights.
Or at least Colgate University certainly believes so.
The Raiders ushered in the start of a new season last week with this memorable and remarkably accurate homage to the former sports drama series—creating a video compilation nearly identical to the show's intro.
Most notably missing, however, was coach Eric Taylor.
Rather than taking a 33-7 loss, maybe he would have given Colgate the edge over the Syracuse Orange.

Georgetown linebacker Ty Williams injured his neck during Saturday's game against St. Francis (Pennsylvania) and underwent surgery, per Michael Cornejo of MoCoFootball.com.
Continue for updates.
Williams' injuries were severe, per Cornejo:
"[Tyrell Williams] may be paralyzed," Williams' former coach at Quince Orchard High School in Maryland, John Kelley, told Cornejo. "Please pray for him and family."
He added that Williams is "one of the best kids ever, hopefully things work out," per Cornejo.
Georgetown Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Lee Reed released a statement on Williams, via guhoyas.com:
Our thoughts and prayers are with Ty Williams and his family. The coming days will be very important and we will be here to support him and his family. We ask our fans and the entire Georgetown community to believe and pray for Ty as he begins the recovery process.
I would also like to thank the athletic department at St. Francis (Pa.) and the medical staff at UPMC Altoona Hospital for their tremendous reaction and support at the game and in the last 24 hours. It has meant quite a bit, both to Georgetown and his family.
Williams moved to linebacker last season after beginning his career as a running back, starting every game last season. He was expected to be a key component of defensive coordinator Luke Thompson’s unit, pairing with senior Matt Satchell at linebacker to give the team a veteran presence at the position.
Now, however, the Georgetown and college football community will be hoping that Williams can make a full recovery from the serious injuries he sustained Saturday.
The Fordham Rams are headed to New Hampshire, where next Saturday they will take on the No. 1-seeded Wildcats (10-1) in the second round of the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) playoffs.
On Saturday, The Rams beat Sacred Heart, 44-22, in the opening round in front of 2,442 fans at Jack Coffey Field in the Bronx, New York.
It was a rematch of the first round of the FCS playoffs last November, when the Pioneers came to Rose Hill and lost, 37-27. The Rams would lose a week later at Towson. This year, the goal has been to get to Frisco, Texas, to play for the national championship on Jan. 10.
"Our kids did a fantastic job preparing this week," Fordham head coach Joe Moorhead said. "They gave tremendous effort. For the most part we executed well. It wasn't perfect, it wasn't clean, but no game is."
"We had great urgency," he added. "They understood the magnitude of the game—with this being a single-elimination tournament."
Save for two games this year—one a 50-6 thrashing at Villanova in Week 2, the other a 42-31 loss last week at Army—Fordham has dismantled its opponents. In their 10 regular-season wins, the Rams averaged 46.9 points per game, scoring 50 or more four times.
Saturday's game did not play out like so many others did for Fordham this year, though the end result was a familiar one.
Fordham struck first when Mike Nebrich connected with Tebucky Jones Jr. on a one-yard touchdown reception. It was the 26th touchdown pass for Nebrich this season and the 62nd of his Fordham career. He would go on to throw three more, including one on the next possession, a 50-yard pass to Brian Wetzel that put Fordham ahead 14-0 less than five minutes into the first quarter.
Sacred Heart (9-3) would respond by scoring nine points in a row, though a blocked extra point and blocked field goal by the Rams kept it a five-point game early in the second quarter.
After a Michael Marando field goal for Fordham made it 17-9, Sacred Heart would score on its next possession. A 59-yard run by Sean Bell led to a two-yard touchdown pass from RJ Noel to Tyler Dube. A two-point conversion was nullified due to a pass-interference call and the Pioneers settled for the extra point and trailed, 17-16, with 4:10 to go in the second quarter.
On the Rams' final drive before halftime, Nebrich connected again with Wetzel, this time for 14 yards as Fordham took a 24-16 lead into the break.
A 97-yard touchdown pass from Nebrich to Jones put Fordham ahead, 31-16, early in the third quarter. Marando added a field goal to make it 34-16.
Keshaudas Spence then scored for the Pioneers on a 22-yard touchdown run. The two-point conversion attempt failed, and Fordham still had a 34-22 lead midway through the third quarter.
Another Marando field goal made it 37-22 with 11:44 left in the game, and Chase Edmonds' 22nd touchdown run of the season, this one from 26 yards out, sealed the win.
"We had to fight for every inch," Moorhead said, giving credit to the opponent. "That's a well-coached football team. They're tough. They're disciplined."
Fordham's motto all along has been "next man in," a reference to everyone on the roster being ready when called upon. That was certainly on display Saturday when the Rams were without key players on both sides of the ball.
Tight end Dan Light and outside linebacker/defensive lineman Brett Biestek did not play due to injuries suffered a week earlier in the game at Army. Linebacker Stephen Hodge has been out all year.
There have been injuries and setbacks, but the Rams continue to roll on.
"I can't count on two hands the number of guys who have gone down," Moorhead said. "That's the culture we've tried to create here. We neither give nor accept excuses... It's a credit to our kids for their belief in the things we deem as important to being successful."

Fordham routed Georgetown, 52-7, on a sunny but cool Saturday afternoon at Jack Coffey Field in the Bronx. It was the Rams' 10th win of the season, their ninth in a row, and it brought them one step closer to being awarded a bye in the first round of the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs.
The Rams passed for 352 yards, ran for 144 and held the Hoyas to just 80 passing yards. Kendall Pearcey ran for 89 yards and three touchdowns, Brian Wetzel caught nine passes for 103 yards and a touchdown and Chase Edmonds recorded his 21st rushing touchdown of the season, setting a school record.
But the story of the day occurred early in the second quarter when quarterback Mike Nebrich went down, spent a minute on the turf, then limped off the field in noticeable pain. Later, it was revealed that Nebrich had suffered a knee contusion. He did not return, and his status for Fordham's game at Army next Saturday is uncertain.
"We feel optimistic about it, but it takes a day or so," Fordham head coach Joe Moorhead said about the injury. "He'll be evaluated tomorrow, and we'll go from there and hope for the best."
Peter Maetzold, who started the last two games after Nebrich had surgery to remove his appendix, was sharp. He had a 34-yard touchdown pass to Wetzel in the second quarter when Fordham went for it on 4th-and-11. He connected with Tebucky Jones Jr. for a 43-yard completion later in the quarter that set up another touchdown. Fordham led 24-0 at the half. Maetzold was just getting warmed up.
In the third quarter, Edmonds' 1-yard touchdown run made it 31-0. Maetzold then connected with Sam Ajala for a 54-yard touchdown to put Fordham ahead 38-0. A 60-yard completion to Sam Ajala on the Rams' next possession set up another touchdown to give them a 45-0 lead with 1:41 left in the third quarter. His day ended there.
"Pete's up for relief pitcher of the year," Moorhead said. "He's done an unbelievable job in three of the biggest games of the year."
Though he didn't get the start Saturday, Maetzold was clearly ready to play.
"It helps when you play the past two weeks, of course, but I think your mentality through the week is really important," Maetzold said. "If you're not preparing during the week, you're not going to succeed during the game."
On Senior Day, Fordham recorded a historic win: It's the first time in school history that the Rams have gone undefeated in Patriot League play.
"After the 1-10 season (2011) we turned it around," Wetzel said. "The new coaching staff came in, and we all bought in, came together and we clicked."
Now Fordham heads to Army, its only game this year against a Football Bowl Subdivision team. The Black Knights are 3-7 and coming off a 54-24 loss to Western Kentucky on Saturday. Still, this will be a huge step up in competition for the Rams.
"They're a very tough, physical Division I team," Moorhead said. "They run an offensive scheme that you don't see all season that you have to get ready for in one week's notice.
"They're a very storied and tradition-rich program. It's a great experience up there."
