SV quarterback Hancox to play at IUP

JACKSON TWP — Graham Hancox did not know that he was on the Indiana (Pa.) University football program's radar.

"They didn't contact me until mid-December," said the Seneca Valley senior quarterback, "but they said they had been keeping track of me all season."

In a relatively short time, the Crimson Hawks made quite an impression with Hancox, who signed a letter of intent Wednesday to continue his athletic and academic careers at IUP.

"Some Division I schools wanted me to be a preferred walk-on, but I really wasn't interested in that," Hancox said. "I wanted to go to a place where I was wanted.

"I talked with a few other PSAC schools ... Clarion, Slippery Rock and Cal, but IUP is definitely the right fit for me. I want to be part of something bigger than myself and that's what IUP is all about."

Since first learning of IUP's interest, Hancox was often in contact with IUP offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, Larry Wilson.
