The Sabre continues their preseason series with a deep dive into Eli Hanback, the Richmond native slated to start at nose tackle for the ‘Hoos defensive line this season. He was the season’s leading tackler on the defensive line — and did so as a sophomore.

From the Sabre: “That puts Hanback’s season, at least in terms of tackles, third among defensive linemen over the last decade. Perhaps the most impressive part of the year-to-year comparison for Hanback, however, is that many of the other names on that list were seniors for those seasons (2008, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2016). Hanback, on the other hand, produced that big year as as sophomore and has two years remaining with the Wahoos.”
