Hanover Panther's Shawn Coane Listed as 2021 NFL Draft Prospect

Coane looks to have an even bigger 2020 season after stellar 2019 performance.

Senior, running back, Shawn Coane (Evansville, Ind.) had one of his best seasons to-date in 2019 but continues to push towards making the 2020 campaign his best yet.

The Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year was recently featured by Draft Diamonds as a 2021 NFL Draft Prospect in an article written by Jimmy Williams released Sunday afternoon.

The article discusses life at Hanover College for Coane while also providing a deeper dive into the student-athlete inside the helmet. 

Coane played a key role in helping guide the Panthers to their second consecutive HCAC title and NCAA Playoff berth. The senior running back etched his name into the Hanover record books becoming the career rushing yards leader with 3,031 breaking the previous record of 3,022. He also set the single-season rushing touchdown record with an impressive 19 endzone visits breaking the previous record of 17.

He finished the 2019 campaign leading the HCAC in touchdowns with 16 while ranking second in yards (924-yards), second in yards per game (132.0-ypg), and third in yards per carry (7.1).
