[edit] High school years
Hangartner attended New Braunfels High School in New Braunfels, Texas and was a student and a letterman in football. In football, he helped lead his team to two state playoff appearances, and as a senior, was a first-team All-District choice and a second-team All-State selection.
[edit] College career
He started 36 consecutive games at center and offensive lineman for Texas A&M. As a senior in 2004, Hangartner moved from center to tackle, where he started all 12 contests. He was also a first-team All-Big 12 choice[1] and was selected to play in the Hula Bowl.
[edit] NFL career
Hangartner was selected in the fifth round of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Panthers. He reportedly scored 47 (out of a possible 50) on the Wonderlic Personnel Test administered during the 2005 NFL Combine. Although he spent the entire 2005 season backing up Jeff Mitchell appearing sparingly on special teams, and as a reserve on the offensive line, he took over the starting position in the 2006 NFL season after starter Justin Hartwig went down with an injured groin muscle. It is uncertain whether Hartwig will resume his starting duties upon recovering from his injuries, as Hangartner and the offensive line only allowed two sacks in the last two games.
