Hannan turns up at Texas State
Former Oklahoma center Jason Hannan, who decided to transfer this past spring, has landed at Texas State, an FCS school located in San Marcos, Texas.
Hannan, remember, was in a two-way battle this last spring with freshman Ben Habern for OU’s vacant starting center spot. Habern was running with the first team early on, and not long after, Hannan told coaches he was transferring.
According to the San Marcos newspaper, Hannan in large part decided on Texas State because of former TSU quarterback/receiver, Chase Wasson, who transferred to Oklahoma two years ago.
“We were roommates for a semester at Oklahoma and he told me about Texas State. I wanted to be a little more close to home, so I decided to come here,” Hannan told the paper.
Hannan, formerly rated the No. 1 center nationally coming out of Waxahachie, Texas, gives Texas State a big-time piece on its offensive line.
He will have three years left of eligibility in San Marcos.
* Two games to watch: I was watching First Take on ESPN yesterday, and the panelists, Skip Bayless and Scoop Jackson, were asked if they could go to any college football game this season, which would they go to. Skip, a native of OKC and self-proclaimed Sooner supporter, chose the Red River Rivalry, saying it might be the biggest OU-Texas game of all-time.
Jackson, who apparently has hopped on the OSU bandwagon, earlier declaring Zac Robinson his Heisman sleeper, said he’s driving to Norman for the Bedlam game, predicting that both teams could be undefeated for that one.
None of this matters, although it goes to show, we may be in store for an amazing season of college football in this state.
* Finally, Mustang offensive lineman and Sooner commitment Bronson Irwin, who I interviewed earlier this summer, recently picked up his fourth star from Rivals.com and is now rated the No. 10 offensive guard in the nation.

Hannan’s an awesome player with a great work ethic and tons of integrity. Texas State will find that he will become a real star there right from the jump. It’s very clear that a Sooner loss is a Bobcat gain. Texas State opponents will quickly find out why they call him IHOP!
Best Wishes to Jason Hannan. As the #1 center in the nation out of High School, he could play anywhere. Glad he’s happy back home in Texas!
Yea those extra 14 miles to get to Norman are a real killer…
