Austin Peay guard Hansel Enmanuel takes it coast-to-coast capped by emphatic slam
Hansel Enmanuel has been on quite a roll the past few weeks. The one-handed basketball star has started to turn the corner the past few weeks for the Austin Peay Governors. He’s stepped his game up in his junior year for Austin Peay, stuffing the stat sheet with 5.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per outing.
On Wednesday night, he once again put another highlight out there for everybody, taking the rock coast-to-coast, with a dunk to finish it off.
Austin Peay lost on Wednesday evening to Morehead State 63-58. Enmanuel finished with two points, three rebounds, and three assists in 27 minutes of work.
Following the conclusion of the 2022-23 season, Northwestern State head coach Corey Gipson accepted the open head coaching position at Austin Peay State University. Hansel, a 6-foot-4 combo guard, re-united with his head coach.
Enmanuel announced he’d be entering the transfer portal in March. He provided the following statement to On3 regarding his decision to transfer:
“One important lesson that I have learned in my life as a student-athlete is the value of patience. Success cannot be achieved overnight, and it is common to experience frustration and disappointment along the way. Sometimes, we may feel entitled to something we desire and have worked hard for, only to realize that we are not ready to receive it at the moment. However, through patience, we can persevere and reach our goals,” Enmanuel explained.

“As I enter the transfer portal, I am reminded of the power of patience. I am willing to wait and trust the process, even if it means waiting an entire season to achieve my goals. I am grateful for my family, my teammates, my agency, and especially my coaches and trainers who have supported me and guided me along the right path. I thank God for giving me the wisdom and strength to stay patient and to trust that everything happens for a reason,” Enmanuel finished.
