4. Scouting Notes

Background Profile

A towering presence at 6’8″, 268 pounds, Hayden Hansen arrives in Norman as an experienced “Y” tight end after a productive three-year stretch at the University of Florida. A Weatherford, Texas native, Hansen developed into a reliable in-line contributor for the Gators, starting all 13 games in 2024 and all 12 games in 2025. He brings a wealth of SEC experience to the Sooners’ offense, having registered 57 career receptions and five touchdowns while proving himself as a dependable blocker in high-level conference play.

Key Strengths

• Massive Frame & Catch Radius: Features an elite, prototypical NFL frame; his height creates a massive target area for quarterbacks, particularly in goal-line situations and on high-point opportunities.
• In-Line Blocking Foundation: Built for the “Y” position; he has logged significant snaps as an in-line blocker against premier SEC defensive ends, showing the anchor and tenacity required to maintain his role in the run game.
• Experience & Reliability: With 37 career games and significant starting experience, he offers “plug-and-play” maturity and a deep understanding of standard professional route concepts.
• Technical Consistency: Demonstrated durability and scheme versatility in the SEC, recording 12+ receptions in three consecutive seasons while providing a reliable floor as both a pass protector and receiver.

Developmental Focus

As he transitions to Oklahoma’s offensive scheme for his final collegiate season, scouts will look for Hansen to prove his verticality and ability to separate against faster, modern linebacker coverage. While his in-line blocking is established, continuing to refine his agility and footwork at the top of his routes will be key to unlocking higher efficiency as a receiver. Proving he can be a reliable chain-mover in a more high-tempo passing attack will be critical for his draft stock.
