About Me

I'm Evan Hanvey. Junior at the College of Charleston, majoring in Finance with a minor in Business Analytics. I have one goal: build a career in an NFL organization.

I don't just watch football. I study it relentlessly.

I'm not waiting until I have a job title to start doing the work. Right now, I'm studying player evaluation frameworks, working through the Collective Bargaining Agreement to understand contract language and the rules of the game beneath the surface, and building my own analytics projects using real NFL data. I've had direct conversations with scouts, executives, and personnel staff inside NFL buildings who have challenged me, given guidance, and pushed my thinking.

Here's what I actually do. I look at a roster and immediately see where a team is strong, where they're exposed, and what moves make sense in free agency and the draft. I study coaching hires, the philosophy behind them, and what they signal about an organization's direction. I track front office decisions and the people making them. I break down contracts not just for the numbers but for what the structure tells you about how a team values a player or position and what their next deal might look like. I always look for the why behind every move.

I built this site because I believe the reps you put in before anyone is watching are the ones that matter most. Every piece of content here is an attempt to get 1% sharper, to think through a problem in public, stress-test my own analysis, and document the process of building real football expertise. I am always looking to learn, connect, and be challenged by people who take the game as seriously as I do.

Experience Lineage

How I Got Here

Every step was deliberate. This is the through line from where the obsession started to where it stands today.

Industry Access
Direct Conversations with NFL Professionals
Built real relationships with people inside NFL buildings across scouting, personnel, analytics, administration, the business and revenue side, and even a former General Manager. Conversations that allowed me to learn, ask real questions, understand how organizations operate from the inside, and challenge my own thinking.
Inside the Building
CofC Athletic Department and Charleston Southern Football
Joined the College of Charleston Athletic Department as an intern in February 2026. Began volunteering with Charleston Southern University football in March 2026. I pursued these opportunities to be close to how sports organizations function from the inside, watching how decisions get made, how coaches communicate, and how culture gets built at the program level.
First Real Project
NFL Team Performance Analysis and Predictive Modeling
Built a logistic regression model analyzing 160 NFL team seasons across 63 metrics to identify which factors most reliably predict playoff qualification. Key findings: margin of victory, turnover differential, and red zone execution were the strongest predictors. Produced a professional executive-ready report with visualizations interpreted through a football lens.
Independent Study
Building the Technical Stack
Completed a full Python data analysis curriculum through DataCamp: Introduction to Python, Data Manipulation with Pandas, Joining Data with Pandas, Introduction to Seaborn, and Introduction to Statistics in Python. Added Microsoft certifications in Business Analysis Fundamentals and Data for Business Analysts, applying these tools directly to NFL roster construction and contract modeling.

The Origin
