Kentuckian prop Dan Hanson played in Major League Rugby between 2024-2025. He represented Anthem RC for his entire MLR career.

A native of Bardstown, KY, Hanson played gridiron football during his time at Thomas Nelson High School, before attending the University of Louisville between 2017-2023 where he played rugby throughout, earning an All-Conference selection and a USA U23 South selection. Following his graduation, Hanson continued to play with the South Side Irish in the fall of 2023, as well as the Chicago Hounds Academy.

When MLR, USA Rugby, and World Rugby partnered to create Anthem RC just before the 2024 season started, Dan Hanson was included on their roster. He appeared in 15 of their 16 games that season, starting 3 times. Anthem finished with a record of 0-16 that season, but their performances generally improved as the season went. Hanson returned for a second season in MLR in 2025 with Anthem, when he was included on their full 2025 roster on January 21st, 2025.
