2017 Outlook
Zach Hannon will enter his senior season with hopes of competing for playing time on the offensive line. The 6-5, 320-pound Hannon has spent practice time at all three positions along the line, and is likely to work at guard this fall. Hannon has contributed on the Huskers' kicking units and could again be utilized in that role.

2015 (Sophomore)
Hannon added depth on the offensive line, but did not play in a game.

2014 (Redshirt Freshman)
Hannon played in all 13 games, working as a shield blocker on NU’s punting unit. The blocking helped Sam Foltz rank fifth in the Big Ten in punting, while NU was also fourth in the league in net punting. Hannon also added depth on the line.

2013 (Redshirt)
Hannon redshirted in his first season in 2013.

Hannon was a dominant force on the offensive line, helping Rockhurst to a 9-3 record and a trip to the third round of the state playoffs. Hannon did not allow a sack on the season and recorded 34 pancake blocks. For his efforts as a senior, Hannon earned first-team Class 6A all-state honors in Missouri, and he was a first-team All-Metro pick by the Kansas City Star.

Hannon only visited Nebraska, but had offers from Arkansas, Colorado, Missouri, Kansas State, Kansas, Northwestern, Iowa State and Illinois to name a few.
