BYU's Future Secret Weapon



For the 2012-13 football season there will be a hidden star for the BYU program, Jacob Hannemann. He is a senior at Lone Peak High School right in the heart of Highland. During the course of the 2009 football season, Hannemann earned seven touchdowns as a receiver and six amazing interceptions while playing cornerback. He has been what people are talking about in the state of Utah, not just for football though. Jacob has also been a baseball prodigy throughout the state, earning himself a spot on the cougar line-up. He is the center fielder for the Knights and in the first 18 at-bats of the 2010 baseball season; he had an unbelievable .667 batting average, the best in the state of Utah. He has been helped through the years by watching the Great Ken Griffey Jr. track down balls and make those plays that many people cannot accomplish, but now Hannemann can. His hero has been his father, for all of the support that he has given him throughout the years. Jacob always knows whenever his dad is in the stands because he never stops cheering for his boy. Brigham Young University is very lucky to get an athlete of such high caliber. This is what the cougars will need to make their sports seasons that much more successful in the years to come.

  1. This is a nice call... but young Hannemann is already a star. I would love to see you dig into the Fresh-Soph Utah Athletes and start promoting the best young athletes to go to BYU. Invest in the future. Nice piece on Hannemann though, I'm looking forward to hit contributions.
