Hans Louis Has Visits Planned

Chaminade-Madonna linebacker Hans Louis plays with that prototypical demeanor you expect from the leader of a defense. The 5-foot-11, 210-pound 2010 prospect plays with a mean streak and never quit attitude on the field and it is something he feels is an asset to his game.

“My strength is probably my aggressiveness, my relentlessness, my speed,” said Louis. “I play 100%, 100 miles per hour every play, I don’t stop. I love to hit, try to knock people out. I love to make plays, game changing plays.”

Those characteristics along with his play on the field have Louis getting attention from a handful of colleges. Tennessee State just recently had an in-home visit, Cincinnati’s new coaching staff has been by the school to express interest in the hard-hitting linebacker, and Florida State recruiting coordinator James Coley placed a call to Louis letting him know the staff would be evaluating his film soon. Despite the inquiries, Louis has set official visits to three other schools.

“I have Marshall set up on the 15th, West Virginia is on the 22nd, and Western Kentucky on the 29th.”

The talented linebacker spoke about each school.

Marshall: “They said they really need linebackers there, and I have a really good chance of coming there and playing early.”

West Virginia: “I just spoke to their coach, Coach (Lonnie) Galloway. He is offering me a scholarship. He said he’s coming to my house sometime next week.”

Western Kentucky: “Western Kentucky, they are coming to my house Friday, tomorrow at 4:00 for an in-home.”

Louis also discussed what he is looking for in the college he ultimately chooses.

“I want a school that’s going to help me be a great player and put me in a position to play. A big school that’s going to be able to show out and going to be able to play in a bowl game. Also, I want a good education.”

While Louis played a bit of a hybrid linebacker/defensive end position in high school, he states most of the schools are looking for him to transition to an inside linebacker position in college.

Louis is also taking part in the 1st Annual Private vs. Public All-Star Game Saturday at Monsignor Pace High School.

“It should be interesting, because there are a lot of D-I players on the private side, but the public is always going to be public, they should have some athletic guys, but I think private is going to win.”
