At Cornell
Hancock played in all 10 contests for the Big Red, primarily in nickel coverage, and ranked second on the team among freshmen with 24 tackles. His three pass breakups tied for second on the squad. Hancock had 19 solo stops and added a sack and three pass breakups. Hancock had a career-best six tackles and a sack in the win over Columbia and also notched five stops and a pass breakup against Ivy League champion Harvard. Hancock is an excellent cover corner with great instincts and exceptional athletic ability. He will compete for a starting spot in 2012 and will also likely see time on special teams coverage units.
