Round 1 Student-Athlete of the Week: Woodward Academy’s River Hanson
River Hanson, a 6-foot-1, 200-pound senior free safety at Woodward Academy, is the scoutSMART Student-Athlete of the Week. Hanson has accounted for 58 total tackles, two tackles for losses, one interception, five pass break-ups and one fumble recovery for the 10-1 War Eagles this season. The three-year starter and Duke University commit maintains a 3.9 GPA and is a team captain. “He is not only respected by his teammates, but he is also respected around Woodward Academy,” co-defensive coordinator Ryan Davis said. “He always puts his team first, even if it means putting himself second. And he lays it on line every Friday night for his teammates and coaches. River always holds himself to a high standard and carries himself with class. Duke University is getting a great young man.”
