Seattle University’s men’s basketball team has added guard Kaden Hansen to its roster for the 2026–27 season, the program confirmed.
“We’re thrilled to bring Kaden into the fold,” said head coach Chris Victor. “He’s an explosive scorer and playmaker coming off a tremendous season where he showed he can dominate games. His scoring touch combined with his fierce competitiveness will fit perfectly with what we do.”
Hansen joins the Redhawks after a remarkable 2025-26 campaign at Saint Martin’s University, where he established himself as a top talent in NCAA Division II. As a redshirt sophomore, he posted averages of 18.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game, shooting 43.2% from the field, 35.8% from three-point range, and 85.6% from the free-throw line. He drained 77 three-pointers on the season and recorded 20 or more points in 15 games.
On Jan. 15, Hansen poured in a career-high 37 points against Western Washington. His standout season earned him several postseason awards, including NABC Division II All-District First Team and D2CCA All-West Region First Team honors. He was also named GNAC Player of the Year only the second player in Saint Martin’s history to receive that distinction while securing a spot on the First Team All-GNAC.
Hansen’s individual success powered Saint Martin’s to a historic season. The Saints finished 26-6 overall, tying the program’s single-season record for Division II wins. The team captured both the GNAC regular-season and tournament titles and advanced to the second round of the NCAA West Regionals.
Hansen began his college career in 2023-24, appearing in 17 games with six starts and averaging 7.1 points and 3.1 rebounds per contest.
A native of Auburn, Washington, Hansen played at Auburn High School, where he was a teammate of recent Redhawk alum Maleek Arington and helped lead the team to the 3A state championship in the 2021-22 season. His high school accolades include NPSL MVP as a junior and First Team All-NPSL as a senior.
