Hansen announced his decision Thursday to join the Wolverines.

Of the five players pledged to the Wolverines, Hansen is the fourth offensive recruit, joining five-star quarterback J.J. McCarthy, four-star offensive tackle Giovanni El-Hadi and four-star offensive guard Greg Crippen.

The 6-foot-5, 222-pound prospect picked the Wolverines over Boston College, Michigan State, Georgia, Iowa, LSU, Maryland, Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin, Colorado, Florida, Kentucky, Louisville, West Virginia and others.

In the 2020 recruiting cycle, Michigan’s only addition at tight end was Burke (Va.) Lake Braddock three-star Matthew Hibner.

Hansen is ranked No. 187 in the nation, No. 8 at tight end and No. 2 in Massachusetts, according to the 247Sports composite.

Only Jake Bringingstool (Clemson), Thomas Fidone, Brock Bowers, Moliki Matavao, Jermaine Terry (Cal), Michael Trigg and Cane Berrong (Notre Dame) are ranked higher at the tight end spot.
