Draven Hanley is a 6’2″, 171 lb. ATH playing both sides of the field for Elton High School. He currently holds a GPA of 3.85. The rising junior saw action at both WR and DB in the six games he was able to play in while healthy. Injuries cut a promising sophomore season short as he was really starting to heat up. At WR, he has the ability to get open and make plays. On defense, he has a nose for the football and plays with a physicality that makes it difficult for receivers. With some varsity experience under his belt, he is looking to make an even bigger impact going into next season.
Q & A
What has football taught you that you think will help you most in college?
Just teaching me how to be coachable in life, learning to accept criticism, and using it to help me improve. Also learning how to work with others to reach a goal these are traits that will translate no matter the environment.
What is one thing that separates you from others on the field?
The fact I go hard every single play and don’t take plays off. I try to view every snap as if it could be my last, so I try to make the most of it.
What keeps you motivated to keep grinding?
Definitely my family. I want to make my siblings proud, and it helps knowing that my parents believe in me. I also just think about how far I’ve come.
What is it like having to balance school, football, and life?
It is definitely a challenge, but it taught me time management. It forces me to stay disciplined and organized and manage my time wisely.

I want to be remembered as a hard worker. I just want to be remembered for my work ethic.
What are things you like to do outside of football?
