One of three 2029s currently playing on the 2026 USA U17 National Team, two of whom hail from Massachusetts, Wells Hanna Wells Hanna 5'7" | Defense/Midfield | Right Hand Cohasset | 2029 MA is certainly a name to know. Hanna is a defender who can mark up on a team’s number one option all game, whether that is a bouncy attacker back at “X” or a powerful downhill dodger up top. She has the footwork and frame to either match step or play big when the matchup calls for it. Hanna is a true transition stopper. She moves with a proprioceptive awareness in open space that most 2029s have not developed yet; her feet are always in the right place before the play gets there. I truly believe Hanna is one of the most well-rounded and polished defenders in the class of 2029. Exceptionally strong on the clear, she can cross the restraining line and initiate the offense without missing a step when an offensive midfielder gets caught on defense. She knows how to use her strength to get downhill, either finishing or finding the open teammate.
