An NAIA Second-Team All-American honoree in 2004, Hannah will be remembered as one of the most decorated and versatile football players to don the Navy and Gold. A four-year starter, Hannah played four different positions (wide receiver, strong safety, outside linebacker, middle linebacker) during his time as a Mountaineer.
In addition to being an All-American, Hannah was a three-time leader in tackles, a three-time Co-MVP, and a two-time team captain for the Mountaineers. He currently holds the single-game record for tackles (26) and is tied for the longest interception returned for a touchdown (92 yards). In 2004, Hannah was a finalist for NAIA Player of the Year, and he was also recognized as the EOU Athlete of the Year.
After graduating from EOU in 2005, Hannah went on to play for the Indianapolis Colts. After one season in the NFL, he played in both the CFL and UFL until concluding his professional career in 2011.
Although his playing days may be in the past, Hannah's work ethic has reflected over to other areas of his life. He owns and operates his own fitness business (NickHannah.com), and he also serves as the Chief of Security of Cave Creek Pro Rodeo. Hannah is also working in modeling, acting, and entertainment.
"There are so many great memories from EOU," said Hannah. "Playing football is my absolute favorite. I also have fond memories of golfing, tubing the river, camping at Hell's Canyon, barbequing with my teammates, and forging lifelong friendships."
